Two Chinese netizens have reportedly gone missing since Feb. 9, after participating in a live-streaming event to mock Chinese leader Xi Jinping on YouTube, according to Radio Free Asia (RFA).
Several YouTube channels run by Chinese netizens prepared a Feb. 11 joint live-streaming session aimed at ridiculing Xi ahead of the Chinese New Year, the most important traditional festival in China. YouTube is banned in mainland China, but netizens can use VPN software to circumvent China’s internet firewall and access banned platforms.
