6. Are Chinese media allowed to do social commentary?
Yes, but it depends on its degree of commentary.
1) I’d like to talk on the comment on blogs. cuz I believe china has more bloggers, not just because China has a larger population, Blog is something with Chinese characteristics.
It is reasonable to say that blogging has changed China. On the other hand, blogging is something with Chinese characteristic. Speak from the perspective of a foreigner from Japan, Australia and the U.S, no where else resemble what's happening here.
In China, ideas don't have an order, because media, blogger and readers are clashing with each others. It is a crucial factor to bring change to China.
In China, there are more real name bloggers than in Japan. (It can be used as a proof in a court, be it blogs or vedio blogs)
While in China, people want to elevate themselves via the blog platform, in terms of fame and thought.
2) We are in an era of critical mass
My feeling is that among the bloggers, apart from the occupational writers, many people with different disciplines are writing social critique.
3) The duty of intellectuals is to criticize
My reason to blog is to express frustration and indecent thought. I have explained, in my daily work I speak in ghost language, fart(屁) in official tongue, while in my blog I will speak human language. I really mean it. Up till now, I still speak in ghost language and fart in official tongue. I flatter to make a living. But in my blog, I speak the truth.
In my opinion, the duty of intellectual is to criticize.
When the lords say go east, we have to point out the danger of going east. When the lords say go west, we have to point out the problem of going west; When the lords say go south, we still talk about the negative side of the south. We criticize for the sake of criticism. |
