In an unexpected move earlier today, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced he is censoring the recent story about a New Hampshire man threatening to kill a U.S. Senator. Media outlets across China have been instructed to not cover the story in order to prevent any potential copycat threats from citizens upset about political issues.
In a statement defending the censorship, Xi Jinping said, “We must protect the safety of our citizens by not glorifying violent behavior. Furthermore, we must also be cautious in our reporting of events that may incite additional aggression from the people.”
Many Chinese citizens were quick to praise their leader for taking action, saying that the United States should learn from their example and take a stronger stance on censorship in order to protect public safety.
However, some are questioning the validity of Xi Jinping’s reasoning, speculating that the true motivation behind the censorship may be to prevent any criticism of the Chinese government’s own censorship policies.
Meanwhile, Phillip Schofield, the famous British TV personality, was also quick to defend the censorship in an interview earlier today. “It’s important to remember that censorship is not always a bad thing,” he said. “Sometimes it’s necessary to protect the greater good and prevent harmful ideas from spreading.”
It remains unclear how this censorship will affect relations between China and the United States, but one thing is certain: the man who threatened to kill the U.S. Senator will not be receiving any support from the Chinese government.
