However, since Weibo and WeChat were introduced to the Chinese public in 20-coinciding with bans on Western alternatives like Twitter and Facebook-the government has spent the past decade developing technical and legal instruments to effectively censor dissent. To be sure, there's no shortage of social grievances when it comes to Beijing's policies, most notably Xi's signature public health strategy known as " dynamic zero COVID," which China's president defended as having "protected the people's health and safety to the greatest extent possible."

As such, activity on Weibo and WeChat remains highly restricted. A spokesperson denied knowledge of the incident, and the exchange-both question and answer-was struck from the ministry's transcript.Ĭhina is continuing to suppress references to the demonstration for threatening to upstage the party congress, which is expected to grant Xi a norm-breaking third term as leader.

One post showed anti-Xi phrases spray-painted on the walls of a bathroom at the China Film Archive cinema in Beijing. The same slogans in last Thursday's rare public protest have popped up anonymously elsewhere in Beijing and spread to at least eight Chinese cities including Shanghai and Shenzhen, according to social media posts Newsweek wasn't able to independently verify. Some of those banned on the former took to the latter to repent and ask for their accounts back. In the first quarter of this year, WeChat reported nearly 1.3 billion monthly active users, while Weibo had around 580 million. The do-everything app has become a vital part of life in China and is used for everything from cashless payments to generating COVID-19 "health codes" to demonstrate they're vaccinated or free of the virus. Hundreds of users on WeChat found their accounts suspended, some permanently, for posting about the incident on the eve of the CCP's 20th National Congress.
