The images from the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar that is shown to football fans in China have been restricted.
The Chinese people are currently protesting the draconian Covid regulations that have been implemented, thus this is an effort to prevent photographs of big, uncovered crowds from reaching them.
The China Central Television broadcasting business has been intercepting images from the Cup and doctoring crowd shots by employing a 30-second delay, according to the UK Daily Mail’s assessment of the Cup video.
While the majority of the world has gotten past the pandemic lockdown measures, China still has severe limitations under its Covid Zero policy, therefore images of fans without masks have been erased.
The People’s Republic of China is still under lockdown in some areas. Daily Covid tests have been mandated for Chinese citizens, and massive public demonstrations have broken out with protesters demanding the resignation of politicians.
