Minitrue: Hu Jintao Visits Hu Yaobang’s Home

The following censorship instructions, issued to the media by government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online. 

Central Propaganda Department: The media are not to report on Hu Jintao’s visit to Hu Yaobang’s former residence. Media websites must immediately delete any republished [coverage]. (April 14, 2014)

中宣部:胡锦涛拜访胡耀邦故居一事媒体不要做报道,网媒已转载的要立即删除。

Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to these instructions as “Directives from the Ministry of Truth.”

CDT collects directives from a variety of sources and checks them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date on CDT Chinese is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.
