Maoflag

The Mao Zedong Thought Flag Network1) (毛泽东思想旗帜网, Máo Zédōng Sīxiǎng Qízhì Wǎng), or Maoflag (毛旗网, Máoqíwǎng), is a Chinese bulletin board that favors Mao Zedong Thought. It was set up by retired CPC officials in 2003 and runs on donations.

History

Back in August 2001, two major Old Left publications2) suspended operations as they published articles that criticized Jiāng Zémín's July 1st speech.3) A group of former Communist Party officials would help set up the Mao Zedong Flag Network in 2003.4) Throughout its history, the website is occasionally forced to go offline as general concerns about ideological drift since the Chinese economic reform often surface.

Their original domain was “maoflag.net” which saw an open letter that drummed up liberalization concerns in 2007,5) reportedly went offline due to technical errors, then it went offline with Utopia due to the Bó Xīlái controversy.6) From there, Maoflag reportedly moved to “maoflag.org”, went offline again, and now resides at the “maoflag.cc” domain as of 2017.
