The Chinese government is censoring searches of the equivalent of “stock market” on the country’s Twitter-like platform Weibo. The Chinese stock market dipped to an all-time low on Tuesday, just before the country’s most significant political event, the National People’s Congress.
The Chinese stock market dropped so much that the government had to intervene through state-backed funds. But the government seems to be keen on making it difficult for people to know what is going on.
Searches for “stock market” returned no results on the web version of Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform. However, the mobile version returned results, when hashtags were excluded. Additionally, searches for related terms such as “stocks,” “plunge,” and “A-shares” appeared not to have been censored.
