HONG KONG (Reuters) - A young clerk with no knowledge of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown allowed a tribute to victims slip into the classified ads page of a newspaper in southwest China, a Hong Kong daily reported on Wednesday.
The tiny ad in the lower right corner of page 14 of the Chengdu Evening News on Monday night, read: "Paying tribute to the strong(-willed) mothers of June 4 victims".
[...]
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post said a young woman on the Chengdu Evening News classified section had allowed the ad to be published because she'd never heard of the June 4 crackdown.

References to the massacre are barred in state media, the Internet and printed works, meaning many of China's younger generation are ignorant of the events.
Ný kynslóð af ritskoðurum veit ekki hvað hún á að strika út. Brilljant.

Þetta er í raun mjög krúttlegt.
Já það er það. Krúttlegur tótalitaríanismi, það er það sem Kínverjarnir gefa heiminum.
Á hinn bóginn sýnir þetta að ritskoðunin sem hefur verið í gangi hingað til hefur virkað þrusuvel.
