Please remember that this is a translation of a Chinese blog, not an original opinion piece from our website. On the matter of uniqueness, however, I think we can be sure that the "human flesh search engines" hold a special sort of sway in China, at a scale and level of intensity that is hard to find elsewhere. Regardless, we are a site that focuses on China. Whenever we include anything in particular, it does not imply any support or disdain for the opinions within (unless so stated), only that we think the story salient and worth relaying to a wider audience.

This happens globally. And it is correct that most Chinese online users are very well informed. May I correct you that it’s not just in China this happens so please do not pinpoint them.
