A fire burned down a hotel in a small town in An Hui province, 1 dead, 3 seriously injured when jumping down. It grabs the attention of blogsphere, however, not because it being thought as a tragedy, but that the 4 are all local officials long living there. It’s questioned whether that is a waste of public money for their living in the luxury hotel every day.

Chinese blogger Yang-zhizhu (杨支柱） sighed for the tragedy that a pair of parents choked their daughter so that they can have a boy under the cap of birth control in China, railing against the policy as forcing people to abandon “excessive” girls.

How about one for Palestine people as well, and Chechens, and Kashmiris, and Thai Malayians, and Iraqis, and Afghanis where people are actually dying instead of dying for freedom … I think not … no one complained in West when Bosnians were ethnically cleansed.
It is funny where people are complaining of censorship are moderating comments on their blogs.
