The famous mainland Chinese BBS websites Century China forum and lifeweek BBS were closed down almost at the same time (25 of July 2006). The later is set up by Joint publishing company which focuses on the publication of intellectual thinking.  Mongee in Soho Xiaobao feels very pity about the disappearing of such intellectual space (zh). Nick Wong writes in his blog commenting on closing down of Century China forum: my evaluation of the Central Propaganda Department is that except the fact that people eat rice and they don't eat shit, whatever people like, they oppose (zh).
