https://chinadigitaltimes.net/20…
"Chinese state media announced on Sunday a list of proposed amendments to China’s constitution... the one with perhaps the deepest potential impact on the future of Chinese politics and society... would eradicate the current limit of PRC presidents and vice-presidents to two five-year terms. This would effectively set President Xi Jinping up to maintain his seat as president indefinitely.
Following state media’s announcement, censorship authorities began work to limit online discussion. CDT Chinese editors found the following terms blocked from being posted on Weibo"
examples of terms / words soon to be banned:
• my emperor
• long live — Literally “ten thousand years”
• ascend the throne
• to board a plane— Homophonous with, “to ascend the throne.”
• proclaim oneself emperoralso...
• Winnie the Pooh
• Disney
