Xi Jinping was unanimously re-elected with 2,952 votes. But censors suspect that “2,952” is now a code word used to poke fun at the Chinese pseudo-democracy.
Meet the new National Financial Regulatory Administration and National Data Bureau. Both mean more CCP control on the economy and the Internet.
The document reiterates a strategy Xi Jinping is pursuing since before he came to national power. What is new (and alarming) is the propaganda.
Government claims those who stay at home for COVID lockdowns watch too much pornography. Yet, for the CCP “pornography and illegals” also include independent religion.
Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, will implement stricter rules and prohibit “deviant” and “anti-government” discussions. All justified with the fight against teen cyberaddiction.
The plan to “cleanse” the Internet and eliminate independent opinions and postings continues at full speed.
Protecting minors from cyberaddiction looks like a good idea, but is also an opportunity for an even stricter control of Internet use.
