So go read Reuters and shut up. I don't think Shanghaiist has ever said anywhere they'd be your one-stop shop for political news. Although if you would care to do a comparison of the China blogs, they are a cut above the rest in their coverage of sensitive topics. And the fact that Nanheyangrouchuan is here so much says something.

Surely you'd agree that that post doesn't sufficiently cover what the situation has escalated into. The protests might have been sparked by the olympics and the increased coverage China is under on the buildup to the games, but the protests themselves are to commemorate the past uprisings. And while writing for Shanghaiist would be great fun, I no longer live in Shanghai, so I wouldn't be able to.

Awesome. I didn't know I was reading Xinhua. No mention of the Tibet protests? You guys frequently post non-Shanghai related China stories, yet the one China story that is getting front page treatment on the NYT and BBC goes unmentioned here.
