Blind activist and Chinese exile Chen Guangcheng (陈光诚), whose unhappy departure from New York University after a year-long fellowship there has recently kicked up a stink, arrived in Taiwan yesterday for a speaking tour. The news of Chen’s trip to Taiwan was heavily censored on Chinese social media.
The following post made to Sina Weibo after 6:33pm yesterday, June 23, shares an online Chinese-language report from France’s RFI about Chen Guangcheng’s visit to Taiwan. The post emphasizes the headline which reads: “Chen Guangcheng arrives in Taiwan today to experience a democratic environment first-hand.”
The Sina Weibo post was deleted sometime before 9:14pm yesterday, surviving for about three hours. [More on deleted posts at the WeiboScope Search, by the Journalism and Media Studies Centre]
