Environmental blogger says video exposing theft and sale of Heilongjiang black soil that caused reduced harvest was forcibly taken down by platform

On August 12, 2026, an environmental blogger reported that an investigative video he had previously posted — about topsoil from high-standard farmland in Mingshui County, Heilongjiang being hauled away and causing severe crop losses — was forcibly taken down by the platform and set to "only visible to myself" without any notice, and his appeal was rejected.
