China ’s not allowed access to Twitter , but obviously there are “ ways ” to process around that . Cheng Jianping and her fiancé Hua Chunhui , were two such user . Cheng , however , was catch for RTing her fiancé ’s caper — on their wedding day .
The berth was made even more traumatic , because her kinfolk and fiancé were n’t told of her arrest — run them to guess she ’d done a runner . All for retweeting her fiancé ’s tweet , which said :
“ Anti - Japanese demonstration , smashing Nipponese products , that was all done years ago by Guo Quan . It ’s no raw trick . If you really want to kick it up a notch , you ’d immediately fly to Shanghai to smash the Nipponese Expo marquee . ”
It was turn into a joke because she added “ raging youth , charge ! ” to her retweet .
So , alternatively of enjoying life as a honeymooner , Cheng was sent to a women ’s DoL camp , where she immediately went on hunger rap . She ’s to remain there for a yr , for “ disturb social order . ” This comes only a workweek afterIrish chap Paul Chambers was slap with a shamefaced verdictfor joke he was going to blow up Robin Hood airdrome in England .
