There's been some drama in Western SF/F circles over the 2023 Hugo awards, held in Chengdu. It looks like the organisers censored some of the contenders for fear of controversy with the government, potentially with the involvement or knowledge of the Sichuan government. Have you seen any of this show up on Chinese social media, or is this sort of thing likely to be itself censored?
I have not seen any news about this at all, but it doesn't surprise me either. For a big event like 2023 Hugo Awards, every second of what they plan to do, show, and say would go through review by government censors before they're allowed to even put the event on.
