Reports Say Xiaohongshu User’s Post About Camping Litter at Sayram Lake Was Removed by the Platform for Alleged Violations

On August 10, 2026, a user posted on Xiaohongshu to expose the large amounts of household waste left behind by tourists camping around Sayram Lake in Xinjiang and along National Highway G218, calling for environmental protection. The post was subsequently forcibly taken down by the platform on the grounds that it violated rules by being “horrifying and terrifying.”
