China Dictatorship (中国独裁统治)

5.21.2.7. Gitee

For our mirror there, see: Gitee censorship (Gitee 审查).

Linked to "Open Source China" (开源中国) according to TechCrunch:

The project will be carried out by a consortium led by Open Source China, the Shenzhen-based firm behind its namesake open-source community and Gitee.

https://github.com/oschina GitHub OAuth goes through that organization
https://www.oschina.net/ their website

At https://gitee.com/mirrors they mirrors 21 thousand repositories as of 2021, updating them daily, with the goal of having "higher download speeds" in mainland China. Not that their speed is shit because of censorships of course.

sensitive word lists. In censoring, we display. It is fun to see how they censor at every level, including the keyboard input method. Fear is everywhere, Newspeak (新语, Nineteen Eighty-Four, 一九八四) must be enforced at all costs:
- https://gitee.com/markxx/tochat/blob/dev/tochat.sql even website project templates must come with a censored word list: https://gitee.com/markxx/tochat/blob/dev/tochat.sql#L6299 "六四事件"

Lol.

2020-11-10 https://www.theregister.com/2020/11/10/gitee_linux_foundation_china_mirror/ "China’s government-anointed Git operator says it will become a Linux Foundation mirror"
Huawei (华为, Chinese Qualcomm) open sourced is Harmony OS "IoT operating system" in Gitee: https://openharmony.gitee.com/openharmony

The name of that OS is pure gold considering the Chinese origin, since "to harmonize" is often used as a way to say "to censor negative CCP information".

That URL also likely highlights Huawei’s intense influence on Gitee, the as the custom domain redirects to it: https://openharmony.gitee.com, as opposed to what normal users can likely create https://gitee.com/openharmony.

Ciro Santilli (三西猴, anti-CCP fanatic, 反中共狂热, stupid cunt, 傻屄, CIA agent, CIA特工, 肏你妈的) commented about his Gitee censorship (Gitee 审查) experiment there, it got 26 upvotes 13 downvotes, and as removed as "This post violated our policy.". There is no way to appeal that in that idiotic system. It is absed on: https://www.openweb.com/ It is also bugged as fuck. Sometimes says violates policy, then there’s a JavaScript update andthe comment shows.
