Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.
China launches app to report people with 'mistaken opinions'
Why is China so much ahead of us?
China has launched a mobile application for citizens to report online comments against the ruling Communist Party and the country's history ahead of the party's upcoming 100th anniversary.
The new programme allows internet users to report those who spread "mistaken opinions" online in order to create a "good public opinion atmosphere", an arm of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said in a notice.
The offences that can be reported include "distorting" the party's history, or any comments against its leaders and policies, defaming national heroes and "denying the excellence of advanced socialist culture", the notice said.
"For a while now, some people with ulterior motives have spread historically nihilistic false statements online, maliciously distorting, slandering and denying party, national and military history in an attempt to confuse people's thinking.
"We hope that most internet users will play an active role in supervising society and enthusiastically report harmful information".
