The Hidden Truth: China's Car Attack and the Fight for Information

Zhuhai, ChinaTue Nov 26 2024
In China, a tragic car attack in Zhuhai killed 35 people and hurt 43 more. This wasn't just a sad event; it was also a story that many Chinese people didn't get to hear because their government, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), quickly hid it. They removed online posts, flowers, and even stopped foreign news reporters from covering it. The CCP does this a lot, controlling what people see and say. In the U. S. , we often talk about China's power and money, but we forget about the people living there. They're trying to find out more about what's happening in their own country and the world. The U. S. can help by sharing uncensored news. We've seen people in China protesting and wanting more freedom. Now, with a new leader in the U. S. , it's a good time to focus on helping the Chinese people get real information. This could bring us closer and show that we care about their rights.
