Chinese authorities banned a popular blogger known for his strong anti-Western comments, according to the South China Morning Post.
Sima Nan, who has more than 3 million followers on China’s social media site Weibo, has been banned across different platforms for a year, according to the paper, which cited two unidentified sources. Sima last posted on Nov. 5 to voice support for Donald Trump during the US election, saying his victory will be more beneficial for China.
According to the paper, Sima Nan is seen by many as “a symbolic voice on the nationalistic left.” He frequently accused groups or individuals of betraying China’s interests and colluding with the US. In 2021, he accused Lenovo Group Ltd. of selling state assets for less than they were worth and paying top executives unreasonably high salaries.
Because the state determines anything that potentially threatens the state as a “threat to the people” while not allowing the people to organise, especially with anything that may threaten the state.
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees
The people are the state, the people organized once upon a time, you might have heard of it.
And yeah rebellion isn’t allowed. That’s a given, no idea why you think that’s a bad thing.
