Help us welcome guestblogger Xiao Qiang. I met Xiao when were panelists on social software at an IFTF event. He has been a political activist since Tiananmen, is the founding executive director of Human Rights in China, is a MacArthur and Santa Fe Institute fellow and now directs Berkeley's China Internet Project. Besides his personal blog, he blogs with John Battelle and others at China Digital News. Xiao can help us understand more than the state of blogging in China and all those links you wish Google can translate. Social Software in China faces issues of control even if not applied to activism or media. Its a place where the digital divide could result in another revolution and the greatest country least understood.
