Reports that the Panama Papers link eight current and former members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee, as well as President Xi’s brother-in-law, to shady offshore deals involving billions of dollars are particularly damaging to the president’s moral authority. Unsurprisingly, hundreds of posts on Chinese social media networks such as Sina Weibo and Wechat mentioning the report have been deleted since the Panama Papers first made headlines. A website which tracks censorship on Weibo listed “Panama” as the second-most censored term on the network behind the name of a controversial film from Hong Kong.
