In addition, forums on the Chinese website cjdby.net that discussed developments in the People\u2019s Liberation Army were also closed by the site\u2019s administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These actions come in the wake of a Weibo account run by the military\u2019s official newspaper, the PLA Daily, posting a commentary warning China\u2019s military enthusiasts to avoid being unwitting tools for foreign intelligence services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Weibo account, Jun Zhengping Studio, which roughly translates to \u201cMilitary Discussion Studio,\u201d cited a recent incident where a photo published on social media showed \u201ca weapon that has yet to enter service,\u201d which became \u201ckey intelligence\u201d for foreign agencies seeking information on China\u2019s defense and military developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It added that this incident was the latest in a string of similar occurrences and warned that even unwitting revelations of military secrets by defense enthusiasts who are otherwise supporters of a strong Chinese military could potentially lead to prison terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s unclear what recent revelation the commentary was referring to; although in recent months, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2020\/10\/19\/video-reveals-chinese-h-6n-bomber-carrying-suspected-hypersonic-weapon\/\" target=_blank>video of a Xi\u2019an H-6N bomber<\/a> carrying what is believed to be an air-launched hypersonic glide vehicle as well as photos taken discreetly from a distance showing elements of the internal layout of China\u2019s third aircraft carrier currently undergoing construction at a shipyard near Shanghai first appeared on China\u2019s social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crackdown is potentially detrimental to those who use open-source material to analyze China\u2019s military developments. Other examples of such sources include a regular stream of photos showing the progress of the aforementioned aircraft carrier undergoing construction at Changxing island near Shanghai, sometimes taken by passengers on commercial airliners taking off from or landing at the city\u2019s Pudong airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other open-source material includes images acquired through commercial satellite imagery, which help counter the secretive state of China or sometimes misleading information put out by state-controlled media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China has cracked down on the discussion of military affairs within its so-called Great Firewall, potentially limiting open-source coverage
