Changing China

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

This sounds interesting. A Yunnan Provincial Party Committee Publicity Department Deputy Director Wu Hao, who came to People's University for a talk at the School of Journalism, was welcomed with bills. As he stepped on the podium, a man abt 25 yrs old walked to him and showered him with fifty-cent bills, yelling "Wu Hao, wu mao". "Wu mao" in China refers to the pay a commentator receives for every internet post/comment made in accordance with government instructions. The man who threw the bills is a graduate of the University named Wang Zhongxia. Why do governments everywhere pay so minimal amount for all the labour. Sheer exploitation. First you want the youngsters to praise the government and the publicity.... free of cost. Are we seriously looking to Chinese blogs/comments on net/internet posts????????
