Chinese censors have taken down several independent financial blogs, as the regime continues to ramp up anti-U.S. propaganda amid simmering U.S.-China trade tensions.

In recent days, at least 10 popular financial blogs were wiped of all its content on WeChat, a popular Chinese social media platform, according to the Financial Times. In addition, two non-financial bloggers, including former state television commentator Wang Zhi'an who posts about social issues, had their accounts blocked on WeChat and Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform.
