We Know What China Censors
Actually, NPR ran a story on this recently. It turns out China doesn't really censor criticism of the government, but they do censor attempts to organize. If you want to call the Chinese government a corrupt evil organization, the censors will usually allow it, but if you want to have a barbecue and invite more than 10 people to it, they will take that content down.
This actually groks with what I've seen on the Chinese version of twitter/facebook weibo. There's plenty of criticism of government organizations some fair and some I was surprised the censors were allowing (my favorite innocuous criticisms were in a thread on school buses after a crash killed a dozen children, where many commenters were posting pictures of American school buses (which look like tanks) and saying we were doing it right), but I have never seen anything about attending concerts, parties, or other public events. I didn't think anything of it until reading the NPR article.

We demand the RIGHT to read something new!
Why is this news to our we-know-it-all readers?
Want something new, maybe somebody who actually know Chinese can read some of the top articles in today's Sina Blog and the thousands of comments on these articles and tell us what they have read.
Searching names of activists and returning no result. Is that news either? Maybe someone can try these other queries to see what results are.

Re:Collision
some updates on the incident, if you guys care to know. sources are in chinese.
a train rider confirmed that operator of the second train apparently did his best to brake the train manually. (source: http://roll.sohu.com/20110724/n314348071.shtml). according to a microblog, the operator was found in the badly deformed cockpit, impaled by the brake lever. (source: http://weibo.com/michaelwangsg)
from official xinhua news: another train, D3212 was struck by lightning a mere 5km away from the derail site under discussion here (the two trains involved are d3115/d301). d3212 lost power and stopped, too.
