Author's note: The Micro blog discussed in this paper only refers to Sina Weibo. Since 2009, there have been four microblog operators in China, such as Sina, Tencent, Sohu and NetEase. At present, the latter three stop operating and updating their software, so the use of micro blog by mainland users only refers to the use of Sina Weibo.
