Why would I need to read Chinese to find out about this? The Chinese state isn't able to censor content in Chinese, but has got the Western internet under its thumb?

Hypothetically speaking, would you rather read about the recent US impeachment proceedings in Korean or in English? You know, the language most widely spoken in the US?

So, I mean, I agree with your point. but as an aside, I think it would be really interesting to see the perspective of a Spanish historian on the recent events in my country

I'd rather read about them in English, but if I only spoke German, I'd expect to get a pretty good idea what was going on from German-language media.

I don't think it is particularly surprising that the best sources of Chinese rumours is in Chinese. I don't think this about censorship (in-fact it's the opposite).
