CCP is wise enough to know such news cannot be censored and censoring it only creates chaos and panic, my guess is it was struggling how to respond. CPC does censor the debates about it, but from it started in last year till now, every development has been reported by the official press, it has been laid low about the deal and prepared for the worst scenario, the news about the negotiations are always simple description of the events, but it never covered up any development.

Added: I really do not know why so many people are claiming that this piece of news have been censored in China, I saw the coverage at noon on May 7th on many mainstream medias, and every move from the U.S were also reported, along with every response from the press briefing of Chinese diplomat department. The latest coverage of it is also from People' s Daily about China' s retaliation response: https://weibo.com/2803301701/HtiphBxKZ , it was referenced and reported by all major mainstream medias i follow, so what did I miss?

https://weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404369575977348865 This is from People' s Daily (the most official state-owned paper) on Sina Weibo (Chinese Twitter) in the early morning of May 8th, the most popular social media in China, and the commentator of this article is believed to be the direct voice from the politburo, the highest leadership of CPC.
