The Sleeping Dragon: China and The Adult Internet
by Ed Rampell
Part Five: Let 100 Flowers Bloom
A wind is blowing in the East. AP reported from Shanghai, "Zhou Weihui swells with pride as she announces, 'I'm China's first banned pornographic female novelist.'… If Chinese censors hoped to chasten the 27-year-old writer of Shanghai Baby when they banned her mildly racy novel of heroin abuse, disaffected youth and sex with foreigners, the effort backfired disastrously… The April ban made Weihui a star."
Although Stanley Kwan's Lan Yu has not been theatrically released in China, the homosexual Hong Kong director's movie, with its gay theme, full frontal nudity, and the first glimpse of 1989's Tiananmen Square massacre, was shot on location in Beijing. The feature was screened at film festivals such as Outfest and Sundance, theatrically released in L.A. in August 2002, won Taiwan's equivalent of the Best Picture and Director Oscars, and, the L.A. Times wrote, "has become an underground DVD hit" in China.
"China has a big potential, in two to three years, they'll be bombarded with their own sites, and payment systems," Wolf predicts. "Just look at the tremendous number of people, and think, wow, if we get them online it'll be a huge market… People don't want Internet restrictions, and nobody will be able to stop this… But it's still in the beginning, still sleepy - the sleeping dragon." The Chinese market could very well be the next big thing in cyberspace, with the time for adult webmasters to wake up being now.
Times are changing in the People's Republic, and consenting adults deserve the same Internet rights and freedoms as citizens beyond the taboo Bamboo Curtain. As a 21st century Chairman "Mao-ses" might say: "Let my people cum!" Or, to paraphrase Marx: ""Pornsters of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your pains, and you have a World Wide Web to gain!"
