In February 2011, Ai Weiwei tweeted that he would like to conduct an interview with an “online commentator”. Commentators are hired by the Chinese government or the Communist Party of China to post comments favourable towards party policies and to shape public opinion on internet message boards and forums. The commentators are known as the 50-Cent Party, as they are said to be paid 50 cents for every post that steers a discussion away from anti-party content or that advances the Communist Party line.


Interview can be found at: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/politics/2012/10/china%E2%80%99s-paid-trolls-meet-50-cent-party


Personally I think scotty might be one. Misusing the word "socialist" so often that by the time the actual chinese socialists make their move we will conditioned to not believe any of it is real.

I would be a Chinese shill, but that would make me a double agent.

What are the pre-requisites? Do you get a dental plan and a company leased vehicle?

They are referred to as a water army and they got the idea from western business. It is not just posting, it is threatening sites with lawsuits to get posts/topics removed, subverting ratings and redirecting discussions. BBS does it for free.

Clearly it's some kind of code.
"Hidden camera investigation and evidence collection" - are they threatening me ?
"cash on delivery!" - or trying to bribe me ?

Hmm ...

They are buying up potential copper reserves. Last summer we did a mini road trip up there and the number one complaint from locals was that the Chinese government was buying up all the land.

We were playing Trivial Pursuit at lunch today, and I got the question "what increasingly capitalist country will celebrate its 40th anniversary of Communism in 1989?" Of course the answer is China (well, mainland China.... I for one still recognise Nationalist China as being the only legitimate government, but that is another topic entirely) but the part I find fascinating is that even back in 1989, and even people as relatively unastute as the authors of Trivial Pursuit, found this hilarious.

When I take up as supreme overlord first thing I'll do is remove all these ambiguous names. It's ridiculous. One "Marathon" is enough.

The end is nigh for you. If you get a chance, setup a Weibo account before they throw you in jail.

Desperation, imo.
Sigh.
