The Chinese government censors discussions about China's economic problems
Recent reports have emerged about the Chinese government censoring discussions regarding the country's economic problems. Chinese social media platform, Weibo, sent private messages to users warning them not to badmouth the economy. This censorship was met with backlash as Chinese economists and researchers had already revealed data showing that over 70% of the population is living on less than $282 per month. The numbers were obtained from Beijing Normal University's research and not from foreign sources as the Chinese government claimed. The censorship and attempts to hide this information have only caused more frustration and concern among the Chinese population.
