"We're being watched right now, so if we say anything that they deem problematic they will put color bars up and say, please stand by. Anddd we're being censored right now, just so you know. Color bars are up."
"So I just asked a question about how the Chinese censors work, and the Chinese people that were monitoring that decided we do not want people to hear that and they started to censor that discussion."
"Whenever there's discussion about Chinese censorship in Western media, sometimes you see this. CNN then split the screen to show the multi-colored sign that read No Signal, Please Stand By that viewers in China were now seeing."
CNN experienced live censorship while covering China's censorship practices. Correspondent Will Ripley reported from Taipei on how Chinese censors allow critical AI-generated content about President Trump to spread online. When Beijing-based correspondent Mike Valerio attempted to discuss how Chinese censors monitor broadcasts, the signal was cut with color bars and a "Please Stand By" message. This occurred twice during the broadcast. Valerio explained that Chinese monitors actively censor content they deem problematic in real-time. Host Elex Michaelson responded with humor to the incidents, noting the irony of being censored while discussing censorship itself.
