China Cracks Down on Online Pessimism in Two-Month Campaign
China is cracking down on online pessimism. The Cyberspace Administration of China is leading a two-month campaign to remove content that promotes defeatist ideas or incites panic. Several influencers and bloggers have been punished for their posts.
The campaign targets posts expressing skepticism about China's situation or advocating for a less stressful life. Two bloggers promoting a more relaxed lifestyle have been punished, along with a commentator highlighting China's lag behind Western countries in quality of life. Notably, an influencer suggesting it's sensible to avoid marriage or children has also been targeted. Despite recent bans or suspensions of influential figures in China, no information about these cases is available in search results.
The campaign aims to cleanse the internet of excessively pessimistic content. It reflects China's ongoing efforts to maintain a positive online narrative. The impact and extent of these punishments remain unclear, as detailed information is scarce.
