In Xi's China, even internal reports fall prey to censorship

Chinese and foreign journalists work at a press conference held on the sidelines of the 20th Party Congress in Beijing on Oct. 20, 2022. China's ruling Communist Party has long relied on a critically important and secretive internal reference system to learn about issues considered too sensitive for the public to know. But as Chinese leader Xi Jinping tightens censorship and consolidates his rule, Chinese academics and journalists say even this internal system is struggling to give frank assessments.
