Donald Trump has now been sworn in as the 45th
president of the United States – but people in China may have a hard
time seeing it.
Censors have ordered media outlets to scale back
reporting of the pomp and circumstance in Washington, D.C., as the
country’s ruling Communist party weighs its response to a new
administration that could upend U.S-China relations, the Financial Times
reported Friday.
“It is forbidden for websites to carry out live
streaming or picture reports of the inauguration,” read a copy of
censorship instructions seen by the Financial Times.
“Wasn’t allowed to discuss Trump today on my radio show, he’s now an official sensitive topic,” Elyse Ribbons, an American who hosts a radio show on a Chinese state-run station, reportedly wrote on her Twitter account Thursday. “Chinese leadership still trying to figure him out (sigh).”
