For months, the Chinese video sharing application has been facing a lot of criticism for potential security breaches, that could grant the Chinese government access to private data of over 500 million active users. Yet, an investigation published last week in the Intercept revealed even more shocking information about the platforms' attempts to grow its follower-base using censorship policies that restricted certain types of content.

With the coronavirus epidemic essentially contained in the country, approximately 600 to 700 cinemas have reopened, and regulators are turning to past blockbusters to help fill seats. As China works to reopen its movie theaters and rebuild its local film industry, the country is turning to some superheroes for help.

Beijing is successfully dodging culpability for its role in spreading the coronavirus.

The lockdown of the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus was first reported, will end in two weeks’ time, the provincial government has announced.

At 44KW, a nightclub in Shanghai, life almost feels normal again. Bartenders mix cocktails for patrons leaning against the bar. Groups sit close together without face masks on, talking and sipping their drinks. A young woman pulls down her mask and speaks into her phone as she livestreams to her followers.

These same documents show moderators were also told to censor political speech in TikTok livestreams, punishing those who harmed “national honor” or broadcast streams about “state organs such as police” with bans from the platform.

Online enforcers are dragging in hundreds for questioning as an assault on online speech continues. They are a sign how Beijing has given censors a more punitive role.

China's claims of how it's handling coronavirus recovery should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Even before COVID-19 became a global crisis, Chinese leaders had been criticized for their handling of the situation and lack of transparency about the disease's progression. Things now look like they're on the upswing, and businesses even appear to be headed back to work — but whistleblowers and local officials tell Caixan that's just a carefully crafted ruse.
