A popular Chinese drama has been censored by the government and the people are outraged. I found this topic interesting because there used to be this sense of "self-censorship." Yet with the onslaught of social media taking control of the norms, people are no longer keeping quiet. This is a country that "let a hundred flowers bloom" and some users in China are now using a topless Mao to make a mockery of the whole situation. Having only done a study on self-censorship 3 years ago, everything seems invalid with society in China changing very rapidly. However, that is not stopping the government from keeping sexy television and the internet censored.
