Sina Weibo Deletes Post Saying Diaoyu Islands Belong to Japan


At around 6:30 pm on September 16, 2012, a Sina Weibo user posted the following:
The Diaoyu Islands are Japan's, I want to tell all Chinese people, from ancient times the Diaoyu Islands were the sovereign territory of Japan, don't go around biting people like some rabid dog, Sina Weibo can delete my post and close my account, but I'll still keep saying it, the Diaoyu Islands are Japan's and I support Japan. 
钓鱼岛是日本的,我想告诉所有的中国人,钓鱼岛自古以来就是日本不变的领土,别像一个疯狗乱咬人,新浪有本事删除我的微博,除非封号,不然后我还是发的,钓鱼岛是日本的,我支持日本
Less than 20 minutes later the post was deleted and the user posted the following:
Today I've been in a fight-to-the-death with Sina Weibo, when I'm posting something is it possible that Sina Weibo does not know that Hong Kong has freedom of expression, deleting my posts, I'm telling Sina Weibo that unless you shut down my account I'll continue posting, I'm not afraid of you, If you have the guts come and find me I'm in Hong Kong Tsim Sha Tsui, Chinese people. 
我今天就和新浪微博斗到底,我发微博怎么了难道新浪微博不知道香港是言论自由的吗,删除我的微博,我告诉新浪微博如果你不封号我还继续发,我怕你们不成,有本事找到我在说我在香港尖沙咀来吧,中国人
