The Chinese Communist Party CCP has recently escalated its online censorship to ensure the safety of the 20th National Congress. The censorship has turned aggressive. Especially after the appearance of anti-communist banners on Beijing's 四通Sitong Bridge, the scope of censored vocabulary has expanded rapidly, and a large number of Weibo users have had their accounts suspended.
In addition to political terms, many seemingly unrelated Internet slang and anime are also banned. Foreign commentators say that the CCP's online censorship is getting ridiculous and is "on the verge of eradicating the Chinese language."
In addition to Weibo, mainland online platforms such as WeChat have also been heavily censored with no exceptions, and a large number of WeChat groups have been suspended, and personal WeChat accounts have been permanently banned.
A source said, that Oct. 13th was a day that the WeChat team had the most number of permanent bans since its inception. Overnight, more than a million accounts were permanently banned, and the number of permanently closed groups was countless.
Following the Sitong Bridge incident, the CCP acted frantically, banning numbers, arresting people, and imposing bans on numerous touchy words.
Netizens say that 彭載舟Peng Zaizhou, the man who hung the banners, has started a ripple effect, inspiring protest slogans everywhere in the country! Many netizens commented that since protest slogans have emerged in China's public washrooms, the CCP authorities better hire "toilet attendants" as a matter of urgency.
