A Cultural Mistranslation
Posted on by Jason Li
PostShow links to a blog entry over at fjliang’s blog entitled “Employee bloggers beware: blog monitoring services are here.”
After a bit of text, they sarcastically hail the blog monitoring service:
Sam Flemming’s blog itself speaks of the Shanghai Daily’s (and others) emphasis on his work invading the privacy of bloggers, even though they “only collect publicly available information that any of the 111 million Internet users in China can also access.”
It seems like China has not yet been rocked by the employee-blog scandals that the US experienced in the past two years that brought blogs out into the open. Is it only a matter of time?
