Some of the harshest words I've seen coming out of China recently. All though this paper (based in hong kong) isn't government owned by mainland China the owner of this paper has long been "pro beijing" and it has history of firing editors who have said anything deemed negative about the government in mainland china.

No way to prove it, but having experience reading/watching pro beijing news I suspect some of the comments to be 'fake' as well... such as:   Great article, Andy Xie, this is the most intelligent and well informed writing on Bitcoin. "Bitcoin is a bubble that foreigners cooked up and, by all appearances, is designed to rob the credulous Chinese masses" This is the most courageous statement and highly significant.
