Independent remote scans put China's interference rate at 4.27%

Censored Planet supplies an outside-in method that is independent of OONI's in-country volunteer probes.

By Palimpsest ObservatoryAutomated evidence brief

4.27%CN interference rate

What the record says

Finding. Censored Planet's current remote side-channel measurement reports a 4.27% China interference rate.

This report is scoped to censored-planet. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.

How it was measured

ingests Censored Planet's public aggregated data; probes nothing (vantage-insensitive)

What this cannot establish

  • The remote-scan denominator and method differ from OONI's anomaly index, so their percentages are not interchangeable.

live-reading · Current evidence

Palimpsest's view: censored-planet is live. The current number is 4.3% over declared denominator not reported. This is the instrument reading, not a national censorship rate.

Key number

  • 4.3% CN interference rate · declared denominator not reported

Current number and denominator

  • The current CN interference rate is 4.3% over declared denominator not reported.
  • Censored Planet's current remote side-channel measurement reports a 4.27% China interference rate.

Same-edition board context

  • Same-edition elevated layers: none declared. Other live lead or high signal ids: event-flags, ddti, undertext, ooni-gfw, in-path-interference, inside-view, ioda-outages, vantage-fusion, erasure-observatory, wayback, app-storefront, apple-censorship, cny-fix-gap, data-darkness, generative-firewall.
  • No editorial_priority or MAD score is treated as a finding on this reading.

What this reading does not show

  • The remote-scan denominator and method differ from OONI's anomaly index, so their percentages are not interchangeable.
  • The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.
  • ingests Censored Planet's public aggregated data; probes nothing (vantage-insensitive)

Counterreadings

  • A current or withheld instrument value is not independent corroboration of any publisher article, and it is not a cause.
  • Co-movement with another live signal on this edition is layer context, not a shared rate or a coordinated action.

Limitations

  • The remote-scan denominator and method differ from OONI's anomaly index, so their percentages are not interchangeable.
  • The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
