China censors public mourning at former premier Zhu Rongji's funeral

China held the state funeral of former premier Zhu Rongji while simultaneously censoring public mourning online and in public spaces. Authorities fear that nostalgia for Zhu's era could fuel criticism of Xi Jinping's rule. While state media praises Zhu's legacy, censorship is being used to prevent the grief from becoming politically charged.
