The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) censored U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s China Policy speech in early June, according to the U.S. ambassador to China.

“We put the speech on Weibo and WeChat, and it was censored in about 2 1/2 hours, just taken away,” Ambassador Robert Nicholas Burns said. “But it was interesting. In that 2 1/2 hours, we had lots of people in this country [China] looking at that speech.
