New Zealand-based China expert Anne-Marie Brady’s claims her Twitter account was temporarily restricted on July 4, after she posted a link to an op-ed criticising the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s 100th-anniversary celebrations.

The professor wrote on Twitter that after initially posting her op-ed, she was notified by the social media giant that her post was “unavailable.”
