تواجه الصين كغيرها من دول العالم جملة من التحديات و الضغوط و المشاكل الداخلية سواء كانت سياسية او اقتصادية،و يرى بعض المراقبين ان ما تمر به الصين اليوم هو نتيجة متوقعة بسب السياسة الفاشلة التي يتبعها بعض القادة و المسؤولين المنشغلين بأمور الفساد و استغلال السلطات و هو ما اسهم بخلق حالة من الرفض الشعبي لدى السكان،و هو ما دفع قياده الحزب الشيوعي الحاكم الى التحرك ضد بعض القضايا المهمة في سبيل تحسين صورة الحزب التي اهتزت بعد فضائح الفساد التي اعلن عنها في البلاد.
و في هذا السياق فقد أقالت السلطات الصينية مسؤولا محليا بالحزب الشيوعي بعد ان شاعت على مواقع مختلفة على الانترنت صور له و هو يمارس الجنس مع عشيقته.
و تبرز هذه الواقعة مدى نفوذ شبكة مواقع المدونات المصغرة الذائعة الانتشار في الصين و تنامي حساسية الحزب الشيوعي الحاكم في الصين و سرعة تجاوبه إزاء مشاعر الاستياء الشعبي بشأن استغلال السلطة و حصانة المسؤولين و فضائح الفساد.
و كان الحزب الشيوعي الصيني قد شدد من خطابه المناهض للفساد سعيا لامتصاص الغضب الجماهيري بشأن تقارير متواترة عن انتشار وقائع الكسب غير المشروع و سوء السلوك بين المسؤولين الا ان جهود استئصال هذه المشكلة لم تكلل بالنجاح التام.
و وجد الشعب الصيني المغرم بشبكات التواصل الاجتماعي ضالته المنشودة في الانترنت كسلاح ناجع لمحاربة الفساد بين المسؤولين و اساءة استغلال السلطة.
و حتى نهاية الربع الثالث من العام الجاري شارك أكثر من 420 مليون صيني في موقع وايبو.
