Military affairs have recently become a censored topic within the Great Firewall—communist China’s sophisticated internet censorship system, amid the tightened control over speech and information on social media platforms.
On March 30, several official accounts that cover military affairs on Chinese social media platform WeChat were suspended on the same day. Among them was the Jiangwutang account run by WeChat’s parent company Tencent and Sina Military, operated by Sina, another dominant social media platform.
