One year ago, I started chinaSMACK to learn new things and improve myself. After one year, so many things have happened and this website has become much more than my original little project. After one year, chinaSMACK…
- Has over 300 published posts;
- Has more than 16,500 comments;
- Receives over 220,000 visits per month;
- Has over 3500 daily subscribers;
- Was a victim of a DoS attack for a week;
- Has switched hosting servers 4 times;
- Is still here.
These are pretty cool accomplishments, right?
We (I and anyone who wants to be part of chinaSMACK) will continue to do our best to share the hot and popular stories, pictures, and videos from China’s internet. We will also try our best to do more and do better so chinaSMACK will remain a fun place to learn, discuss, and understand more about China and Chinese people. We are really silly and strange like everybody else!

1 Year Anniversary T-Shirt Contest Winner
Thank you for everyone who submitted a design and voted for this contest. The winning design is…
5. chinaSMACK Certified By Netizens
Designer: Peng Guo
Design Details: Most websites based on Mainland China often have the ICP registered number and red shield badge at the bottom of their page, e.g. “沪ICP备05000001号” (registered #05000001 by ICP of Shanghai) and “京ICP证080274号” (certified #080274 by ICP of Beijing). They are required to have the ICP license or they will be blocked in Mainland China.
To mock Chinese government-controlled internet and to “represent” Chinese netizens, I replaced the original red shield badge with Jiong badge, “沪ICP备/京ICP证” with “网民证”, “numbers号” with “chinaSMACK号”. So it’s something like “#chinaSMACK certified by Netizens”…
Designer Bio: Native Chinese raised in Canada and United States, currently majoring in art at a graduate school.
An official announcement will be made later with information on how to order an official chinaSMACK t-shirt. I must contact Peng Guo soon and find a company to discuss how we will make this t-shirt. Peng Guo will receive a free t-shirt, some chinaSMACK stickers, and I hope some other prize. Thank you, Peng Guo!
Thank you…
