Zhang Gaoli scandal was blocked netizens unlimited creativity to avoid censorship, Xi Zhongxun ranked first? | Peng Shuai | Zhang Gaoli | Sexual Assault | Internet Censorship |

[Voice of Hope November 4, 2021](Comprehensive report by our reporter Chu Yunjue)On the evening of the 2nd, Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai issued a heavy news on Weibo, claiming that he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Zhang Gaoli, the former deputy prime minister of the Chinese Communist Party, and that he had maintained a lover relationship with him for many years. After Peng Shuai broke the news, the above news was blocked by the entire mainland Internet, and the relevant messages of netizens were also deleted. Afterwards, netizens created a variety of synonymous words to evade censorship, including Chinese and English combinations, split characters, homophony, etc. The creativity is limitless, but the most eye-catching is a picture of the CCP Marshal Peng Dehuai and Xi Jinping’s father Xi Zhongxun released by netizens. It implied that Peng Shuai and Zhang Gaoli, the netizens who saw this picture praised: “Great Wisdom”; others said, “Who would dare to delete this time?”

After Peng Shuai broke the news on Weibo that she was sexually assaulted and abandoned by Zhang Gaoli on the 2nd, the post was deleted after only 20 minutes. The Chinese Internet is silent. Currently looking up Weibo, there is not only no news about Peng Shuai and Zhang Gaoli, but also a large number of discussion threads under their respective news. It is like a tennis news mentioning Peng Shuai in June. There were a hundred comments below. Nothing is left. What’s more absurd is that netizens have to discuss under the news of the same name as Peng Shuai. It seems that there is a policeman named Peng Shuai, but the messages below are all silenced.

At the same time, netizens have compared their speed with the CCP’s Internet police and censors in major forums and social media, creating many ways to leave messages, which makes people laugh.

Some people disassembled the names of Peng Shuai and Zhang Gaoli and used “Peng Yuyan handsome”, “Peng Yuyan really handsome”, “Better handsome than Gaoli” as the discussion codewords; some netizens used Peng Shuai’s pinyin abbreviation “PS” as homophonic “Bodhisattva”. On behalf of Peng Shuai; “Zhang Guoli” and “Zuge Liang” were used to replace Zhang Gaoli, but they were still deleted.

On Douban forums, many netizens use Chinese and English mixed methods to discuss, such as “today (today), a big melon (a big gossip), let me (make me) aware of the misery of ordinary people”, ” she (she) is not a normal (ordinary) person, not to mention we (us) ordinary people (person)”, “Her (her) WB (weibo) id (account) no (nothing)”, “i (I) hope her (hope her) is safe”.

In addition, netizens complain about WeChat more sensitive words, almost everywhere are sensitive, and they can’t send anything out. Some netizens gave up using words and used emoticons to evade censorship. Many netizens commented, “All those who can understand are geniuses” and “Really talented, talented people. It takes a lot of brainpower to send a message.”

Some netizens have repeatedly deleted comments and directly sent out a “big killer” picture. This old photo shows that the Marshal of the CCP Peng Dehuai and the former Vice Premier of the CCP and the father of Xi Jinping, Xi Zhongxun, are studying the combat plan together. And this photo can be used to compare Peng Shuai and former Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Gaoli, who was rated as “the most creative” by netizens.

Some netizens made a variety of pictures to mock the speed of the CCP’s deletion of posts.
