Sensitive Words and Censored Content Related to the Recent Sino-American Summit
During the recent Sino-American and Sino-Russian summits, Chinese social media experienced increased 'soft censorship,' limiting search results to state-approved sources. A notable incident involved Elon Musk's Chinese-language reply to a banned dissident account on X, which sparked brief online interest before being censored. Censored WeChat posts also criticized the use of schoolchildren in political events and the suppression of articles about Trump's China visit.
