No news from Chinese internet star who showed tank cake on Tiananmen anniversary

One of the biggest internet stars in China He has been silent since Friday after showing a cake with some resemblance to a tank on a live broadcast, hours before the start of the commemorations of the Tiananmen crackdown.

Li Jiaqi’s transmission (a very common name in China), whose programs by Internet have millions of followers, was abruptly cut off on Friday, just as he was showing the camera a pie decorated with what looked like tanks of chocolate, a few hours before the anniversary of the repression in the square of Tiananmen.

China has done everything possible to erase, even from the history books, the memory of the events of June 4, 1989, when the power sent troops and tanks to put an end to the peaceful protest in this square of beijing.

Since Friday, there has been no message from Li Jiaqi, and some search results by Internet of his name have been censored.

Many of his young fans are dismayed by his silence, especially after he did not appear during a broadcast that was scheduled for Sunday.

This content creator, born in 1992, became known for his makeup videos, and has a predominantly female audience.
