SHANGHAI — Chinese netizens are marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a little anarchy of their own.
They are flying over the Great Firewall of China (GFW) in exuberant numbers to send messages to an anniversary website in Berlin that was set up to allow people to share memories of the night the wall came down, or, recommend "which walls still have to come down to make our world a better place."
The opportunity to use the forum to chip away at Beijing's heavy Internet censorship was obviously too good a chance for many Chinese netizens to ignore and they deluged the site with calls for web freedom. Until the Chinese government caught wind, that is.
