China's annual New Year's gala is meant to usher in the Year of the Pig, but the state broadcaster largely censored all words and images related to pigs during the biggest TV show of the year last night.
Key points:
* The phrase "no pig in Year of the Pig" was censored on social media platform Weibo
* The censorship is believed to be intended to respect Muslims in China
* Many Chinese citizens are unaware about the country's massive re-education camps
Biao Teng, a prominent rights lawyer, said the censorship of pigs did not mean the CCP respected the ethnic minorities — considering 1 million Uyghurs and other minorities were being held in detention.
Uyghurs Muslims are also reportedly subjected to forced political indoctrination, renunciation of their faith, mistreatment, and, in some cases, torture.
