The list of words is so mind-boggling.

The list of words is so mind-boggling. On the Chinese Internet you cannot talk about former leaders (Deng Xiaoping, Zhao Ziyang); current leaders (Xi Jinping, Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao); communist party/army/Ministry of Truth/Police; porn/fuck/penis/vagina/sperm; protest/persecution/gang rape; Muslim/Tibet; freedom/democracy/revolution.... I wish there was a way to visualize at a high-level how language on the Chinese Internet is drifting over time and try and correlate it to the emotions/thoughts the Communist Party wants people to have. This is the Thought Police and Mind Control from 1984, only way, way more advanced and insidious and real. Brrrr. Getting the chills just imagining being subjected to this! Edit: adding a direct link to the Google Docs spreadsheet containing the 9054 words - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19eS47Dg086vR1jh9oo51...
