In China, the power of blogs is also being acknowledged at the present. The official media had initially been silent about the child kidnappings in 2007. But the community of Chinese activists who used blogging as medium had forced them to give the report. Because the mainstream media is under the control of the country’s media police, credibility and integrity of information has sided with the voices of the common people, who are brave enough to tell the world what’s really going on.

During May that year, a journalist named Lian Yuen, blogged about the possible destructive effects to his peaceful beachfront city by a petrochemical plant the government was trying to build. A few days later, an anonymous text message was sent saying that the construction of the plant would be like dropping an atomic bomb on Xiamen, the place where the plant was being built, and text messages started to fly around the town. This launched the biggest middle-class protests in China's modern history.

During the demonstrations, the media was not allowed to show anything and was totally blocked from any kind of operation. However, several bloggers from the independent collective ‘Bullog’ attended the demonstration and sent live updates through text directly to a colleague who had stayed at home at his computer, posting their updates minute by minute. They soon attracted so many readers that Bullog's host server was unable to keep up. Several people have been arrested for spreading the word, since the internet police have technological and administrative methods to demolish a blogger's anonymity.
