Over the past two weeks, information and comments about the
Weng’an riot have dominated Chinese chatrooms and blogosphere. The Xinhua news agency quickly put out its official version of the story, and while reporters from the official domestic media and foreign media are on-the-scene investigating the incident, they are not allowed to publish their reports or have not been given full access. Meanwhile, online censors have been deleting
critical comments from netizens like crazy.
