Dear Administrators and Users of thebeijinger.com,

I belong to a group of internet activists based in Beijing and couple weeks ago my associates brought your website’s forum to my attention. Being Chinese myself, I can’t even start to begin expressing how I feel when I go through some of the threads on this forum. China is being verbally attacked with hateful and extremely racist posts and this almost since the creation of this website. Being mostly used by foreign users based in China or overseas, this website managed to remain relatively off Chinese authorities radar but this is about to change.

As activists we strive to render the internet as accessible as possible, fighting the censorship as hard as we can. Over the years our fight has been rewarded with few but considerable achievements, if Wikipedia is now accessible it is partly because of us. Now this fight is rendered vain and obsolete by this kind of behavior on forums accessible in China. You are giving more reasons to the Chinese government to censor as they please. More importantly, you are creating racism. If the people of Beijing knew what is being said on a website called “thebeijinger”, what do you think would be their reaction?

For your information a file has been built against thebeijinger.com. We’ve gathered over 250 racist posts and comments, time and dates, with I.P addresses of perpetrators. We are giving 7 working days starting from the posting time of this thread to the administrators of thebeijinger.com to “clean” their forum. They are required to remove any racist and insulting comment or post against China and other countries. Also they will I.P ban perpetrators to prevent them from coming back.

Refusing to comply will result in us providing the adequate Chinese authority with the relevant information which will result in putting “thebeijing.com” in the black listed websites of China. In short, the website will be censored in China rendering its access impossible within the great firewall. Also, racist comments will be entirely translated in Simplified Chinese and posted on the main websites and blogs in China, starting with Weibo. Last but not least, I.P addresses of perpetrators along with those hateful translated comments will be released on the Human Search Engine of China.

This message hasn’t been sent to administrators and is the only copy. Administrators should be aware of what is being said on their forums, I highly recommend to moderators to forward this message to those in charge because the clock is ticking… .

We are giving you a chance to make things right, don’t miss it.
