Chinese tagging

Rebecca reports on the use of tagging by Chinese bloggers. Also, in response to a post by Joi Ito, "If you are posting something on your blog about Chinese-Japanese tensions, Sino-Japanese history debates, and related issues (or if you’re uploading related photos to the web)," she recommends you use the tag "cn_jp_dialog."
