Chinese censorship has been in overdrive since U.S. cable news channel Fox Business Network aired a primetime debate between one of its hosts and a Chinese state-run television anchor.

The scheduled debate between Liu Xin, Chinese TV anchor for CGTN, the international arm of China’s state-run broadcaster, and Trish Regan, a host on Fox Business Network, was shown on May 29 in the United States.
