en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm

The official Hugo Awards site shows that no regular Hugo Awards were presented in 1946; instead, the work later won a 1946 Retro-Hugo Award. On the official 1946 Retro-Hugo Awards page, Animal Farm is listed under Best Novella, and the page explains that the 1946 Retro Hugo Awards were presented on August 30, 1996 because the 1946 Worldcon did not present Hugos. That means the article's wording is wrong in two ways: it gives the wrong award form (regular 1946 Hugo rather than a 1996 Retro-Hugo for 1946 eligibility) and the wrong category name ("Best Short Novel" instead of Best Novella).

Contemporaneous reporting does not support the blanket claim that China censored all online posts about Animal Farm. The Guardian reported that, after the move to abolish presidential term limits, search terms blocked on Weibo included the titles 1984 and Animal Farm; that is a platform-specific censorship measure, not proof that all online posts everywhere were censored. The Atlantic later described the episode more narrowly as Beijing having temporarily moved to censor social-media references to Animal Farm and 1984, while also noting that the books were still available for purchase in bookstores and online. So the article overstates both the scope ("all online posts") and the medium (all online content rather than social-media/search controls).
