During China’s Lunar New Year holiday period from Feb. 10, news reports on a massive forest fire in southwestern China were censored, as the ruling communist regime attempted to create a false sense of peace and prosperity during the holidays.
Starting Feb. 10, massive forest fires spread near more than 20 cities—including Guiyang, Zunyi, Bijie, Jinsha, and Anshun—and across counties in Guizhou Province. Videos circulating online showed massive fires during the night, resembling a wall of flames. The burnt area was equivalent to twice the size of Taiwan.
