CHINA—On May 1, many satellite TV channel programs in Guangzhou City had been replaced, on some channels, and even displayed pictures and slogans against the communist regime. Many mainland media reported the incident, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan media. Mainland media avoided reporting the content.
According to a Southern Metropolitan News report from May 2, between 8:00 pm to 8:40 pm on the evening of May 1, the newspaper received dozens of cable TV viewer reports that the TV program had been replaced. The news report has been reprinted by at least 42 media on the mainland, but none of these media reported the content.
As of May 5, all major media in China have removed these news reports, including the Southern Metropolitan News’s, and major Internet news outlets Netease, Soho, People’s Net, Sina, etc.
According to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post report, besides Guangdong Province, similar incidents also occurred on TV stations in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Tianjin and other stations.
Familiar Slogans
Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported that people from Guangdong Province also saw slogans such as “Overthrow the Chinese Communist Party,” “Opposing One Party Dictatorship,” etc. People from Henan Province told the overseas independent satellite TV station, New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV), that same night that slogans such as “Communist Party, Killing Party,” “Communist Party, Gangster Party,” “Communist Party, Cult Party,” showed up on a Beijing Satellite TV channel, and lasted for several minutes.
The above three slogans are often seen in the Quit the CCP Campaign overseas. Currently, over 21 million Chinese have announced their withdrawals from the Chinese communist party and its affiliated organizations through the internet. The communist regime is doing its best to block this information from spreading.
