The ‘Great Firewall’: China censors videos, social media posts of Hong Kong protests

that Chinese authorities had ordered media to delete any video related to the Hong Kong protests. The term “Let’s Go Hong Kong” was also censored.

Hong Kong, a former British colony, was handed back to Chinese control in 1997 after a prolonged transfer period. The 1984 handover agreement signed between then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and then-Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping has resulted in a deeply held tradition of peaceful protest in Hong Kong.

Rather than focus on the two marches that drew more than 1 million demonstrators, China’s Communist Party-owned China Daily“HK parents march against US meddling,” the headline read. A Global Times editorial accused U.S. lawmakers of using Hong Kong to pressure Beijing by inciting “fake” complaints among Hongkongers.

Censorship of the Hong Kong protests follows strenuous efforts about two weeks ago to erase all mention of the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, commemorated at a mass candlelight vigil in Hong Kong and reported on widely around the world.

So these rallies had their effect.

That's true. Lots of WeChat (a popular social media that almost everyone uses it in China mainland)groups have been banned because people discussed Hong Kong event in them. Pictures ,key words or radio of it would be blocked.
