History

On January 27, 2020, Tencent Dajia published an article titled The 50 days of Wuhan pneumonia: Chinese people are all paying the price of the death of media.[10] After this article was published, Dajia suddenly disappeared from the Internet.[11]

On February 19, 2020, an insider disclosed that Tencent had shut down "Dajia" at the request of the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission.[12]
