"BREAKING: Tech news, China's major web sites ordered to shutdown for 3 days re: quake mourning, see @marcvanderchijs @frankyu"3 hours ago - CommentHow's that going to help anything other than slow commerce in China? - Tad DonagheDamn, yet another example of China's government pushing around its media to serve its purposes. That's one way to get sad news off of newspapers. - Robert ScobleThis is a sad development - Anand SharmaThis feels like an effort to control the flow of information even more than controlling commerce. Is it customary to shut down for a 3-day mourning period? would that happen if the head of state died? - KaroliThis is their culture... if you ask me, it's fascinating that we, in our culture, simply could not function with allowing our entire economic structure to lay dormant for three days... after this mourning period passes you will see China right back on the fast track to global domination. Might actually say something about our government's and our businesses purposes, eh? Just a thought. - Matt Shaulishttp://twitter.com/fuzheado/st... has more. - Robert Scobleshutting down websites is like telling people they can't think about anything else cept the quake for three days. It's stupid and it's not gonna work. - Stan SchroederHow sad it is that the government of China can't embrace a tool for communication in disaster relief. Fear trumps helping people every time. - Jason Keith EllisI think we all agree it's a bad move, question is, are they going to enforce it? Or rather, do they really want to? - Amit MorsonCNN has nothing on this shut down yet. But here's an article on the mourning: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/... - Robert ScobleWhy don't they just shackle them all so they can't move - can't mourn properly /and/ move about. This is totally a power play. - Hafthor StefanssonAmit, If they do manage to enforce it, what does that say about the ability of a country to silence the Internet? - Jason Keith EllisMatt - it's an excellent example of the lack of freedom in China... - Tad DonagheIt seems to be another example of China suppressing the Internet, free thought, and the flow of information. - BradLack of freedom, yes. I do not aim to argue that point in the least. However, people love to jump all over China at every opportunity... what they don't realize is that behind the sushi curtain there is a millennia old culture and tradition that is easy to write off by westerners as "oppression" etc... the traditions of these people pre-date the oppression by a long shot. Mourning and somberness is a facet of that culture. - Matt Shaulishttp://twitter.com/fuzheado/st... has a link to the actual edict in Chinese. @fuzheado reminds us that the press has had tons of freedom to cover quake too, but that misses the point. The government there is in control of when the freedom to publish starts and stops. - Robert ScobleIt may simply just be a way to show respect... nothing else... - Fredrik WennbergGee China, just when you have the opportunity to show the world how much you've changed, you pull a stunt like this. Pathetic. - darnellMatt, sushi is from Japan. Not China. - Akiva Moskovitz(DarnellClayton): @Scobleizer Gee China, just when you have the opportunity to show the world how much you've changed, you pull a stunt like this. Pathetic. (fuzheado): @Scobleizer Clarify, the SC edict tells sites to actually to participate in mourning, so it's not CENSORING quake news, its the opposite! - Robert Scoble@Matt I don't think anyone is upset about the society's culture -- it's the government practices and policies. Why should the government have any say in how people mourn and express sobriety? - SheyHow soon until the number of people Scoble follows on Twitter exceeds the population of China? - Louis GrayWell, I'll say something nice about China - at least they're officially asking for and receiving help from abroad. That will help save countless lives on top of the ones they're saving themselves. That fact, just by itself shows that China HAS changed. And it shows the enormity of the catastrophe. So, censoring == bad, not trying to burden yourself for providing for millions of homeless == good! - Tad DonagheWouldn't cultural based morning happen voluntarily? - BradAll chinese is agree that - cozeAkiva, thank you for correcting me... it was a pretty weak attempt at humor as it was... I probably deserve more of a lashing... you are a scholar and a gentleman. - Matt ShaulisAP article on China "letting" media report on Quake story: http://ap.google.com/article/A... - Robert ScobleI'm not trying to defend the policies or actions of an oppressive regime. I fear I've been misunderstood and did nothing to help my case by shooting off a stupid (and ignorant) sushi remark... All I am saying is that very few people seem to be aware of something: the people were likely anticipating... WAITING for the powers that be to announce how long the mourning period would be, so they could commence to, in unison, honor their cherished heritage. Then again, I'm not Chinese and should (and will) stop. - Matt ShaulisMarc van der Chijs (@marcvanderchijs) " TV also says that all public entertainment will not be allowed in next 3 days. Does that mean cinema's and bars will be closed as well?" and John Kennedy (@feng37) "Zhang Xiaozhou mentions friend in Shenzhen ordered to shut his bar down for these 3 days"...If true that's a lot of people out of work for three days. Is this just for Sichuan or all of China. Also, it's the middle of the night in China. Why not make this announcement during the day? - Robert StevensJust to be clear... the major sites aren't being shutted down, as @fuzheado mentioned: "Stop recreational services" for 3 days - game, audio, video sites and forums. do a google translate of the edict, too large to post here. - daveI don't necessarily have a problem with the concept of going dark during a public mourning period; quite a lot of US media properties, shows, etc did so after 9/11, for example. I am not so sure I like the idea of a government-mandated shutdown, though. - Rachel LuxemburgWesterners... Ugh.... When will you learn to listen first before you speak? Did anybody notice they are shutting down recreational sites, not news and commerce? Seems rather insensitive to be playing games while others are experiencing such great pain. What is wrong with asking Nero to stop playing the fiddle? - Luke GedeonThey're stopping the olympic torch too - Not as significant but historically noteworthy - Charlie AnzmanI thought they were closing ALL business...not just web sites. - Chris NixonChris, yes.. but The250 care only of the web. ;) (Excellent point by Charlie Anzman [as usual Charlie ;)] ... much more interesting topic of conversation, imho.) - Matt ShaulisChina three day mourning period begins Monday at 1428 (0628 GMT), one week to the minute since last week's earthquake struck. Via BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asi... - Robert StevensI think China has shown an unusual amount of openness around the quake and maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge on this one. - Jon DillonThis is not the fact, the fact is that some local government departments suggest that they ( entertainment site ) should stop operating.now, almost all of the site can also be visited. - zheng
