💨 Abstract

On May 14, X accounts of Chinese media outlets Global Times and Xinhua were temporarily restricted in India. By evening, Global Times' account was restored, but Xinhua's remained blocked. This action follows India's May 8 blockage of around 8,000 X accounts from "unfriendly" countries amidst recent military tensions. Government sources indicated that specific issues need addressing for the accounts to be restored, though details were not provided.
