    > I am rather sceptical of this being evidence of censorship. CCP is clearly employing censorship on vast scale, this is not disputable at all. Have you maybe meant "I am rather sceptical of this being evidence of censorship in this specific case."?

I was curious about this as well. Reality TV for example is edited very differently between the US and elsewhere to suit local tastes. Do we know whether or not crowd shots were usually shown in China pre-covid?
