<< review queue entry 40649 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Is 和谐 "blocked by the great firewall of China"? There seem to be plenty of webpages like the following ~ 被和谐了是什么意思？ 其实所谓的和谐并不是被删除 而是修改,中和! 因为中国文化部如果觉得此情节或者道具,任意相关的东西在中国产生了文化冲突,或者产生文化误道,他边会进行修改,在保留原有的基础上删减或者修改,来使其不与中国文化冲突,或者更容易接受! --- http://wenwen.soso.com/z/q136045815.htm Or are these invisible inside China? Since the Chinese Communist Party announced the goal of constructing a "Harmonious Society" in 2004, usually cited by the government of China as the reason for censorship, Chinese netizens began to use the word "Harmonious/Harmonize/Harmonization" (和谐) as a euphemism for censorship when the word for censorship itself was censored. And when the word "Harmonious" began to be censored, Chinese netizens began to use the word for "River crab". ---- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_crab_(Internet_slang) |
