I am a reader of Boingboing and I am in China right now. The protest in the city of Shanwei is being blocked by the authorities as known, yet at 10:20 p.m I saw it reported on TV with video clips by the so-called Dragontv,(or 东方卫视 as in Chinese) which I think is a station based in Shanghai and personally I think it a pioneer on some level.

I went to their website to check on it, but could not find a transcript. I could only navigate as far as the National News category, in which that particular piece of news didn't appear among a list of news on 2005-12-15. Here is the link.
