Those with an interest in American politics were able to watch the 6th Democratic presidential debate on Thursday night (EST) without interruption. One exception, assuming no loss of power or signal access was in China, where screens across the country went black just before 9:00 p.m. EST. (Friday 8:00 a.m. local time).
Most viewers know that content is censored when the screen goes black and all sound cuts out because it happens regularly with live broadcasts on international media networks in China. The Chinese Communist regime will censor anything it considers politically sensitive content
The timing of this outage came right before the next question from PBS moderator Judy Woodruff to the candidates. Should the U.S. boycott the 2022 Beijing Olympics over China's alleged mass detention of its Uyghur citizens?

I'm a bit surprised, there would be demand to watch the Democratic debate over there.
