Go Alan Knight! I agree, there is no good reason for there to be no Chinese
Wikinews.Wikimedia has already been blocked so the old logic that "we have
to be good boys and girls, otherwise the Communists will block us" is kind
of obsolete. Or maybe Wikimedia has become so spineless that we've moved
onto the next level: "If we don't start a Chinese Wikinews, maybe the
Chinese Communists will stop blocking Chinese Wikipedia and other projects."
We're effectively asking "How high?" before the ChiComs ask us to jump. I
really, really think that the current lack of Chinese Wikinews is a
disgrace.More than the minimum of 5 have expressed an interest in a Chinese
Wikinews. As well as that, a fully functional pre-launch exists. Why not get
a Chinese Wikinews up-and-running?
