[4] Feminist Voices started an online campaign[5] protesting discrimination in China Central Television's ("CCTV") Annual Chinese New Year Gala show,[6][7] and quickly garnered 1,300 signatures before it was blocked by censors.
The notice said "Hello, because the content you recently posted violates national laws and regulations, your account will be banned for 30 days.
"[9] Xiong Jing, an editor from Feminist Voices said Weibo had not been "very specific" about its motivations but "we are guessing that it's because we sent out some tweets calling for a women's strike action against Trump".
[10][11] This coordinated strike, which was in conjunction with the 2017 Women's March on Washington, is called "A Day Without a Woman".
[12] On March 8, 2018 International Women's Day, Feminist Voices was permanently banned on both Weibo and WeChat, China's top two most influential social media platforms.
