2024’s Most Notable Censored Articles and Essays (Part 2)

China Digital Times' editors are compiling a series of the most notable content (Chinese) from across the Chinese internet over the past year. Topics include this year’s most outstanding quotes, reports, podcasts and videos, sensitive words, censored articles and essays, “People of the Year,” and CDT’s “2024 Editors’ Picks.”

In this Part 2 post about 2024’s most notable censored articles and essays from CDT’s “404 Deleted Content Archive,” some of the topics include a food-safety scandal about oil tanker-trucks transporting cooking oil, a proposed national Internet ID system, the illegal sale of corpses for use in medical procedures, indebted local governments selling off assets, stabbing attacks against Japanese nationals in China, a car ramming attack at a stadium in Zhuhai, and worries about a weak economy driven by high youth unemployment. Part 1 focused on topics including media passivity, economic woes, the cancellation of the premier’s customary post-NPC press conference, the disappearance of the pre-wireless Chinese internet, and the link between xenophobic online content and anti-foreigner stabbing attacks.
