Anyone can respond to this: If I were to choose Beijing as the location in North China, what kind of Initiative/Case Study could I choose? Please & Thank You :)

Hey Matthew, I am not sure whether this is specifically happening in Beijing, but the topic is actually on China, and it is about social media and its impact on social justice. Just watch this TED talk which talks about how Chinese citizens utilizes micro blogging and other social media to fight for social advocacy .
This phenomena in China actually put pressure on government as well. There are many examples talked in this TED talk and one example that I can recall off the top of my head is that how Chinese citizens collaborated on social media to prevent some dogs being killed.
The link to the TED talk:

Hope this helps!

Are we supposed to "sign" this page? I read that we were supposed to confirm our membership on this page by Oct 16th? I'm a little confused on what this means? Does that mean we have to decide our case study by then?

Raissa, that just mean you have to put your own name in the chart Matthew created. But Matthew put everyone's name in. Perhaps you could try to contact the other members of the group to make sure that they are on board. Thanks.

Where does it say on the wiki that we are supposed to confirm our membership on this page by Oct 16th?
This chart was created so things could be more organized. If you guys have more/other suggestions please mention them here. Thanks!

Yes I have emailed Eric, Raissa and Jason, but I have yet to hear back from Jason and Eric through the wiki or through email, though I messaged Eric and Raissa on facebook and they responded on facebook.

I think this article is a good overview of just the situation in china, no case studies.....but just shows how government is preventing digital activism http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/weiwei_event_roundup.php

Do you know how recent these case studies should be? I find the problem with more recent events is that there is not as much information on them. Do you think it's possible to do two case studies that are quite similar if there is not enough information out there on one?

I would suggest that the case studies should be fairly recent, no more than 2-3 years ago at most.
The video example you mentioned above is interesting, but not substantive enough for this exercise. The other links you provided look good and please keep digging.
Both Eric and Matthew's cases look good, with plenty of background information.
