Pincong (Chinese: 品蔥) is a Chinese-language internet forum and Q&A website primarily used to discuss politics and adjacent topics. Its users are mainly overseas Chinese people. The "old Pincong" was founded in 2017, but closed down on 30 October 2018. A new team launched "new Pincong" shortly after.[1]

Background

[edit]

Pincong's server is located in United States.[1] The site is currently blocked by the Great Firewall of Mainland China.[2][3]

According to Quartz, Pincong is popular among China’s liberals.[4] Some of its users come from Douban.[2]

Influence

[edit]
  • November 13, 2019, many users from mainland China uploaded their student photo IDs or diploma, partially covered by a piece of paper to anonymously support Hong Kong protests.[4][5]
  • November 30, 2019, a Pincong user published "Geng Shuang Emulator" on GitHub, a webapp that emulates the clichéd speech of then-Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang. It randomly rearranges Geng Shuang's speeches, with keywords replaced to produce a new speech. That attracted some attention of political activists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.[6][7][8] The emulator was removed on December 30.[9]
