China began to censor some content-related content on social networks on Wednesday, after US “reciprocal rates” rates about dozens of countries came into force, including 104% tariffs on Chinese products.
Meanwhile, the publications that criticized the US were the most accessed in the country.
Hashtags and search for “fare” or “104” were mostly blocked on the Weibo social network, with pages showing an error message.
Other hashtags, especially those that suggest that the US has a shortage of eggs, were among the most viewed in Weibo. CCTV state broadcaster has started a hashtag “#card eggs and agricultural products in the US”.
The Americans are “shaking the tariff flag in an ostensible way, imposing tariffs on the EU (European Union) steel and aluminum products… but also writing letters to European countries low, asking for eggs urgently,” CCTV said in a Weibo publication.
The censorship also extended to Wechat, where a wide range of Chinese business publications that highlighted the negative impact of Trump’s tariffs was withdrawn by the platform, according to an analysis by Reuters.
The censored publications were all marked with the same label stating that “content was suspected of violating relevant laws, regulations and policies.”
Beijing announced counter-tarfish to the US and promised to fight what he considers a blackmail.
Internet censors have also allowed the US comments on the US to proliferate Chinese social media, portraying the United States as a globally irresponsible commercial partner, while China prepares the stage for a wider business struggle with the largest economy in the world.
China controls the internet through a system known as the “large firewall” and publications in social media are routinely censored when considered harmful to national interests.
Foreign social networks, such as Instagram and X, are blocked in a system that created a captive market for national alternatives.
Beijing lawyer Pang Jiulin, who has more than 10.5 million followers in his Weibo account, said China’s participation in US exports would rapidly replaced by countries such as Vietnam and India, and Chinese companies would miss the opportunity to continue exporting to the US.
Faced with the economic aggression of the US, China has no other way unless “fighting to the end,” he said.
“If China also increases tariffs to 104%, US products prices, including Apple and Tesla, and the Chinese will pay a higher price for their favorite American products.”
Chinese actions fell on Monday, with the rate of Shanghai falling 7% on their worst day in five years, but closed on Wednesday, driven by state promises to support local markets.
The prominent Chinese analyst Hu Xijin said on Wednesday that Trump’s team was “really raving.”
“They are at war not only with the whole world, but also with the most basic rules of human society, so their chances of victory are zero,” Hu said.
“Your reciprocal tariffs will be preached in the pillar of the shame of history so that future generations laughed at them.”
