SINGAPORE: As China mourns its deadliest mass killing in years, Chinese internet censors have been kept busy scrubbing social media sites and search engines, as netizens asked why it took almost 24 hours to release information about the Zhuhai car ramming.On Monday (Nov 11), a driver rammed his car into a sports centre in Zhuhai, mowing down people, killing 35 while injuring dozens. The man, later identified as a 62-year-old surnamed Fan, had “forced his way into the city’s sports centre, ramming people who were exercising”, the police said on Tuesday. News of the attack broke on Weibo on Monday night and began trending among users, many expressing shock and horror as images and videos of the aftermath circulated widely across the site.Dozens of heated comments, critical of “delayed efforts” by local authorities in communicating information from the ground, were seen on several Weibo posts before they were removed within the hour.
Weibo users also took to the accounts of state media outlets, commenting on coverage of a military air show that was also taking place in the city and questioning the lack of coverage about the attack.Weibo users also took to the accounts of state media outlets, commenting on coverage of a military air show that was also taking place in the city and questioning the lack of coverage about the attack.News of the attack broke on Weibo on Monday night and began trending among users, many expressing shock and horror as images and videos of the aftermath circulated widely across the site.Dozens of heated comments, critical of “delayed efforts” by local authorities in communicating information from the ground, were seen on several Weibo posts before they were removed within the hour.
