Two Netizens in China Go Missing After Organizing YouTube Event Mocking Chinese Leader
Two Chinese netizens have reportedly gone missing since Feb. 9, after participating in a live-streaming event to mock Chinese leader Xi Jinping on YouTube, according to Radio Free Asia (RFA).
Several YouTube channels run by Chinese netizens prepared a Feb. 11 joint live-streaming session aimed at ridiculing Xi ahead of the Chinese New Year, the most important traditional festival in China. YouTube is banned in mainland China, but netizens can use VPN software to circumvent China’s internet firewall and access banned platforms.
Some of these groups said their videos were removed by YouTube ahead of the event, with the platform citing copyright violations. The channel administrators believe that YouTube was acquiescing to Chinese censorship rules.
‘China’s Last Aboriginal Village’ Devastated in Great Fire
A sudden great fire swallowed up nearly the whole village of Wengding, located in Cangyuan county, Lincang city, southwestern China’s Yunnan Province.
It is known as one of the few villages remaining in China where the aboriginal Wa people reside.
On Feb. 14, around 5:40 p.m. local time, a severe fire hit the “heritage” section of the village, according to China’s state media reports. Since the community was full of thatched houses, the fire spread swiftly and uncontrollably.
Residents and tourists staying there were evacuated. By 11:15 p.m., the open flames were extinguished, and the remaining fire was being cleared.
