An online article in mainland China has sparked discussions as it reveals disappearing information on the Chinese internet, particularly regarding critics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) whose names are becoming nearly unsearchable. Experts believe that the CCP, sensing a threat to its regime, is trying to erase memories while maintaining power, as evidenced by the rapid disappearance of online content. For example, a search for 'Jack Ma' on Baidu for the years 1998 to 2005 showed only one result, and information about a recent Chinese adaptation of Yan Ge Ling's novel 'The Golden Cangue' dance drama does not mention the original author. This is believed to be a result of CCP's tightened internet control through the Cyberspace Administration, highlighting their efforts to cut ties with history and obliterate negative records as if they never existed.
