Things that Have Been Banned in China

Now South Park is completely banned too.

Also Avatar is not banned in 3D which is kind of weird. The reason of that is cuz the CCP thinks that people wouldn't focus on the central theme being too fascinated by the effects.

A few notes:

1. Though the reference to the Tian'anmen Square Massacre is strictly banned, the mentioning of the square itself is not —the founding of PRC is proclaimed by Mao on Tian'anmen Gate in 1949, and the once-a-decade military parades are still held at the square (last edition was in 2019)

We Chinese are more used to refer to the incident by its DATE (June 4th) instead of its location, as many other events with substantial historical significance also took place at the Square.

2: The works of George Orwell are not banned.

Also jasmine isn;t banned, you could put it as 'cut flower jasmine from Beijing wholesale markets in 2011', I dunno.

I strongly suspect that the view thought Avatar has been banned in China confused the film with the animation Avatar: The Last Airbender, whose sometimes simplified as Avatar. Despite no clear evidence indicating the animation has been banned, its subjects include religion, Tibet, and ethnicity, with the possibility of a ban.

Chinas one child policy was exempt for ethnic minorities and people in rural areas.

Falun Gong and the Dalai Lama are arguably rightfully banned because the political movements they represent are harmful right wing extremist ones, which is often ignored in western media.

The internet bans can easily be circumvented with VPN's, which many chinese citizens do.

The bans on references mainly refer to public comments with large reach. Punishments for e g internet comments are rare.

From the chinese perspective Animal Farm and Chinese Democracy are hostile foreign propaganda. I'm not american but I'm pretty sure america doesn't allow "death to america" chants from Iranian propagandists in their country either.

Cryptocurrency is deservingly banned. It provides zero positive contribution to society and is very bad for the environment.

All in all there's still a lot wrong with all of this but it's not nearly as bad as many people say

but jetpunk is be allowed
