Etymology
- "to report to the authorities"
舉辦／举办 (jǔbàn) is not a homophone of 舉報／举报 (jǔbào). But why was it mostly chosen to replace 舉報／举报 (jǔbào), to fight against the censorship? The main reason could be a bug of the cencorship. 舉辦／举办 (jǔbàn, “to host”) is a very commonly used word, but it is also pronounced similarly to 舉報／举报 (jǔbào, “to report to the authorities”). This leads to the situation that if it is used to replace 舉報／举报 (jǔbào), it can be recognized by others while being less likely to be filtered by the censorship system. Because once "host" is set as a sensitive word, the normal use of the word will also be restricted.
