China's media coverage on US election rises sharply, in response to negative and confusing news.

In the wake of the deadlock in the US presidential election results, some Chinese official media, which used to keep a tight rein on coverage of the election process and vote count, have recently changed. The coverage has been significantly raised, but focusing on negative news such as the discrepancies between US media's vote projections, controversies over mail-in ballots and public protests. There were also notable reports on Democratic presidential candidate Biden when he overtook Trump in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

It has been reported that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has issued a directive on reports of US Presidential Election, that all news have to follow a "unified arrangement", based on "standardized manuscript" from Xinhua News Agency, with "no reprinting of foreign media without authorization, and no follow-up reports". Chinese media are also required to position themselves according to the "state spokesman's stance on the subject", and "strictly prevent anti-US seditious and incite messages such as 'boycott US'". This directive was confirmed by media workers.

Conducting social movement art exhibition on streets of London, a painter from Hong Kong: he was questioned of offending the National Security Law by pro-Beijing media, and resignedly to immigrate for creation

Artvocate, a social movement art platform established by Hongkongers who moved to the United Kingdom, held an art exhibition “The Art of Standing” on streets of London showing some of the platform's artworks on social movements in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Thailand, including the paintings by a Hong Kong couple “Lumli Lumlong”, who moved to the United Kingdom for about 4 months. Lumlong said that freedom is very important to art creation, but in Hong Kong, they “cannot draw, or show those paintings to the public”. They chose to leave to “carry on creating for Hong Kong”.

The exhibition was held at Piccadilly Circus, London City Centre, and Leicester Square, with several people holding and showing about 20 artworks related to the social movement in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Thailand, including cartoonist Justin Wong's work “Home”, which attracted a lot of attention from pedestrians.
