We are sorry to announce that Danwei’s Third Plenary Session has been postponed because of suddenly announced onerous security requirements from the local police. We understand that they are scared of anything bad happening under their watch. They may be right in suspecting that some Danwei readers are counter revolutionaries who want to spoil the Olympic Games, but even so we do not really want to share our guest list with the cops.
We appreciate all the interest in the event expressed by our readers. We will organize a new date for the event when things calm down in Beijing.
Our apologies for canceling on such short notice.
Sincerely,
The Danwei Team
Update:
The police have decided that we do not need to furnish them with our guest list and guest passport numbers as previously requested. Unfortunately, the news came a little too late for us to revive the event.
Watch this space for details of the new date and venue.
