China blocks searches for Big Yellow Duck after brilliant Tianamen Square meme

 

Chinese censors have banned the search term “Big Yellow Duck” after an image circulating on the microblogging site Sina Weibo creatively evoked the iconic image of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

The words “today,” “tonight,” “June 4,” were also censored ahead of the 24th anniversary of the brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Beijing.
