Probably because of the tension between allowing free discussion and the resulting chaos, loss of focus, and overtly (and intemperate) political discussion which is antithetical to the macroeconomic discussion for which this board was designed. He got tired of it, had better uses for his time. I don’t do FB, so we communicate very occasionally. It’s difficult to keep a discussion going that way. I wish he had used a firmer hand with the culprits, but he hated to ban. C’est la vie.

China dials down Xi's personality cult as criticism mounts The political mood in China shifted on July 4, when a young woman live-streamed herself splashing ink on a Xi poster to protest the "tyranny" and "brain control" imposed by his government. The video quickly went viral. She went missing after tweeting a photo of uniformed men outside her door, and is believed to have been detained. The incident opened the floodgates for further condemnation of Xi. The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on July 11 that former party chairman Hua Guofeng once apologized for encouraging a personality cult around himself. The article, which has since been deleted, is widely seen as an indirect attack on Xi's campaign for power. ttps://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/China-dials-down-Xi-s-personality-cult-as-criticism-mounts Xi off to make friends in Africa and assert control at home Chinese leader aims to recruit allies in trade war with US https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-Relations/Xi-off-to-make-friends-in-Africa-and-assert-control-at-home
