This is scary because censorship is reaching to all over the world.

That deserves a whole page in itself :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_censorship_of_Chinese...

Although nowadays the bar to be shocked is quite high ..here are some remarkable examples:

European Union : "The organisation agreed to censor references to the Chinese origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, with research suggesting that self-censorship on sensitive topics that may offend the PRC is commonplace."

NASA: "The American space agency faced criticism in China for listing "Taiwan" as a country in a drop-down menu on a website about Mars."

World Health Organization: "Senior advisor Bruce Aylward faced criticism for saying he could not hear a question from RTHK journalist Yvonne Tong about whether Taiwan could join the WHO, asking her to move onto the next question then terminating the interview when she repeated it"
