Strong Nation Forum

Strong Nation Forum

The Strong Nation Forum is a Chinese bulletin board on the website of the "People's Daily", an official newspaper of the Communist Party of China.

The purpose of the forum is for discussion on how to make China a stronger nation. The forum is somewhat remarkable being sponsored by an organ of the Communist Party of China yet having a relatively open amount of uninhibited discussion including sometimes extremely strong criticism of the People's Republic of China government.

With politically sensitive issues such as the July 1, 2003 demonstrations in Hong Kong against Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23, the amount of coverage and analysis within the forum is often more extensive than with the paper itself.

After Zhao Ziyang's death on January 17, 2005, the forum was flooded with messages expressing condolence. These messages were promptly deleted by the moderators, as the government feared any mass mourning for the purged leader would cause civil unrest, and some posters responded by ridiculing the moderators. One person asked, "I could post messages in the morning, but why not in the evening?" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4181811.stm]
