**Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of Global Times, the Chinese state-owned newspaper, has reportedly been banned from social media for 30 days, after a now deleted blog post by him argued that China has acknowledged the importance of private economy. **
The former editor-in-chief of the Chinese newspaper, mistakenly argued that absence of the reference to “public ownership remains the mainstay” from the recent Third Plenum Communiqué earlier in July, is an acknowledgment of the capitalist economy, according to Foreign Policy.
Hu is famous for championing China’s aggressive foreign policy – known as wolf-warrior diplomacy – while also known for his opinions on issues, which have been outlandish in the past.
