The whole world is talking about the Panama Papers, the giant leak of confidential documents from a Panama-based firm that aided scores of politicians in hiding money by setting up offshore shell companies around the world. Yet the majority of mainland Chinese don't know that the papers have anything to do with China.
The leaked files, which were compiled by International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, reveal offshore companies linked to the family of China's top leader, Xi Jinping, who has vowed to fight “armies of corruption.”
China's Web censor has blocked #PanamaPapers from major search engines and deleted all discussions about the leak on social media since April 4 in an effort to keep the majority of mainland Chinese people from finding out that (according to ICIJ) “family members of at least eight current or former members of China's Politburo Standing Committee, the country’s main ruling body, have offshore companies arranged through Mossack Fonseca.” Netizens are reporting that even emails referencing the leak have been tampered with.
China-based netizens have been posting regular updates on the censorship measures on Twitter. First, the Chinese translation of the phrase “Panama Papers” vanished from the top three search engines in China.
