Ping.

“In this case, China’s Netizens used the Internet overwhelmingly for good. They gave the world a view of a tragedy on a scale rarely seen, spurred government to act with a speed rarely seen and prompted a compassion rarely seen. Who knows what will happen next time there is a major event in China? Netizens may again be the central players. In China, the Internet has stood up.”

Agree; they did good.

FR China is born. In other words, what the article is saying is that reporting of the event by individuals provided more and faster news than regular channels...just like here on FR.

Now I am sure there are some that will say, it can’t be so. It is all just a Chinese plot...
