China: A Country Without Today nor Tomorrow


As a political tradition in current China, certain so-called "sensitive words" will be blocked in different anniversaries in Chinese search engines, including Sina weibo. The typical example is the anniversary of June 4 for every year.

It is understandable to know that the terms such as "six four", "24th", "candle" and "never forget" are all in the list of "sensitive words", however, sarcastically this year, this blocking list includes new words such as "Today" and "Tomorrow", as the pictures shown above. If you put the words in the search engine of Sina Weibo, no information will return based on certain laws and rules.

This blocking suggests nothing but that China is a country without Today nor Tomorrow!
