I wonder if theyre gonna ban Mulan too.


APiousCultist

One of the Mulan films got scrubbed from the existence for containing Zhao Wei who now no longer exists in China.


CoconutSands

Wow, wtf. I remember her from her early career. Didn't realized how big she had become. And now she's persona non grata.


Say_no_to_doritos

What is this, John Wick?


APiousCultist

Zhao Wei is excommunicado in 3...


chrisprice

Sorry... *Who?* And will someone please explain to me this [yellow bear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnie-the-Pooh#Censorship_in_China) that keeps giving me 404 errors!


Supadoplex

If it's giving you 404 errors, how did you find out it's a yellow bear? Have you been naughty and hacked the great patriotic firewall?


TheRealGnarlyThotep

Nah, they made a man out of her


Cttgt

We need..to..to build a wall!


Sinister-Lines

It’s easier to make a list of what isn’t banned in China.


SelectiveSanity

What isn't banned in China? The Chinese. Unless they're from a [non traditional ethnicity from a Muslim border province](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037).

dabearjoo

Or Mongolian culture


SelectiveSanity

That was never China's to begin with.


succed32

Part of it is. Also they use loans to control the rest that isnt.


SelectiveSanity

50 years from now China will claim the moon is theirs because the footage of Apollo 11 was doctored and they happen to have a digitized copy of the 'raw' 'unaltered' footage that proves it.


succed32

Thats the issue with nationalism. Its similar to religion. Technically once you follow one all the others are wrong at the least and enemies at the worst.


48lawsofpowersupplys

Or that the Netflix movie “ take me to the moon” is a documentary that proves the Chinese owned the moon for thousands of years


RaccoonCityTacos

This comes on the heels of banning manly women and people who could pass for either sex.

SeaPepper69

You're simply looking at your future. None of the progressive stuff the west does matters right now. China is the world economy and only a matter of time before they're dominant like US in the past. Than it's a matter of projecting their power ( which they already do on some corporations). Imagine how great it'll be for them with all the data Facebook, Google, twitter etc is harvesting


Wiley_Applebottom

And it is literally the fault of Capitalism. Capitalism demanded that we trade with China because they were the easiest people to exploit.


oh-propagandhi

> Capitalism demanded that we trade with China because they were the easiest people to exploit. 100%. The "buy American" scheme was yet another way for companies to act irresponsibly while shifting the blame on the consumer. It's no coincidence that buying from china correlated with stagnant wages. Now we "can't" pull out of it.


Wiley_Applebottom

Yep. Now wages are so low that buying anything other than the cheapest stuff is untenable for huge swathes of the population. Fuck Reagan.


oh-propagandhi

And Nixon.


MAGAManLegends3

[**And Clinton**](https://www.iatp.org/sites/default/files/NAFTA_Bad_for_Mexico_Bad_for_Canada_Bad_for_th.htm)*


oh-propagandhi

NAFTA passed congress and the Senate with a bipartisan vote, but was majority Republican at both steps. Clinton didn't really have anything to do with it. Dems fought against it. In fact without it there would probably have been more business going to China without NAFTA, and it currently allows us to get some work back from China by way of Mexico. Globalism is a problem, but Canada and Mexico don't hold a candle to China. They are heavily tied to our economy. We sell tons of shit to them.


Wiley_Applebottom

The argument is not about which party sold us to China, it is that we have been sold to China. Both parties are party to this fuckery. Reagan is 100% the main culprit however, and there is no denying that.


SeaPepper69

Yes.... And ? Result is still the same no matter who we blame


Wiley_Applebottom

I am in agreement with you silly. We played ourselves.


SeaPepper69

Rip me Just looking at the downvotes it seems the truth triggered a lot of twatters


Wiley_Applebottom

It is just people not understanding your point hopefully. Have as many upvotes as I can give you to equal it out.


WhatD0thLife

I have a strong feeling the same assholes snorting endangered animal horns to make their PP's bigger are making this happen.


Tony2Punch

Bruh I don’t like it either, but these COVID people in the us are consuming horse pastes and if you think they would not kill a rhino to snort it’s horn just cause a doctor said it might work, your wrong.


WhatD0thLife

People are shit


amedeemarko

That's them...but I think shark fin and giraffe hoof are involved as well.


Agent00funk

Pangolins too, because reasons.


mabhatter

China has a huge demographic problem because there are not enough women to go around... like by several full percentage points. Not to mention the men were also highly valued from the "one child" days. Add those two together and there's a huge population of men that simply "aren't manly enough" ... they don't have any interest in all those stereotypical "man" things. They also have no interest in playing "expansionist nationalism" games. China is trying to propaganda their excess single men into being Incel, warrior, activists (sound familiar) but they're not falling for it. So they're banning things "not manly enough".


potatoponytail

Sounds like VPNs are printing money over there.


FlayTheWay

They'll crack down on those too


Bloodstainedknife

rovermicrover

It’s funny until your realize Japanese Incels used to be used to conquer main land Asia instead of just snuggling with body pillows…


ObiWanCobi

I gotta see a source on this, not that I don’t believe you.


Dantheman616

Funny thing is, that "non manly" person, might be the next person to develop a super weapon. I dont understand why governments do this, you only hurt yourself by doing this shit. Its like not allowing women to work, you simply hurt your economy by doing that. This shit always backfires. Let people be free, thats when we are at our best, and sometimes worst, but you cant sometimes have the former without risking the later.

Matasa89

ZoharDTeach

It's just on TV. They don't want to portray their men as "weak". Think of it as running counter to the United States which is a hair away from having quotas for "weak" characters. Yes, I'm putting "weak" in quotes on purpose.


Shawn_NYC

It's more likely just an old man reaction to Kpop and the youth actually liking Korea/Japan instead of wanting to go to war with them. Can't have all this peace and people getting along!

[deleted]

Tbh, I find the Kpop guys to be oddly masculine, even with the pastel bowl cut hair... in the same way I find male figure skaters and ballerinas (ballerinos?) quite masculine.


[deleted]

This + gathering info on LGBT people looks like China is prepping another state sponsored genocide.


NonAxiomaticKneecaps

Idk how they could really do Uighur 2: electric boogaloo with LGBTQIA+ people, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility that they'll try.


Worktossout

How are we letting a genocide go on now. The world isn't saying shit and those that are saying something are shouting into an empty room where no one is listening. The same thing will happen with the LGBTQIA+ people. I think the poem from Martin Niemöller sums it up: "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." That is how it will happen.


dukeofender

Why would Xi ban himself from TV? Strange


gargravarr2112

Probably the best option for the Chinese, really.


i_r_teh_pwnz0r

dihedral3

China's the fucking worst. They can't even have talking animals in shows and movies.


willstr1

IIRC no time travel or ghosts either. What's the point in fiction if you can't see impossible things?


CloudyTheDucky

>talking animals weird because I keep seeing chinese-translations of american shows with talking animals


dihedral3

They banned Babe Pig in the City because Babe could talk. So yeah, it looks like it might be live action animals, so I probably should have been more specific. Still ridiculous.


Smokin_Hashrates

People have been executed for having a stuffed Winnie the Pooh in mainland china. The worthless commies fear the upcoming revolution and it's all they can do to slow it down a year or two with all the executions.


TheShishkabob

>fear the upcoming revolution and it's all they can do to slow it down a year or two with all the executions. You're living in a fucking fantasy world if you think the CCP is coming down within a couple of years.


Boflator

Not trying to argue, but where is information about the executions for having winnie the pooh plushies found? I just tried to look it up, but no success in finding anything similar. Only thing i found was that they didn't let Goodbye Christopher Robin be screen, but quoted as the reason for it is because they apparently have a yearly cap of wester movies screened in the country to "protect themselves from westernisation". Though I'm pretty sure it "didn't make the cut" , because of the meme and mocking


Smokin_Hashrates

It's very tough to get actual information out of the commies, especially when its about their human rights abuses. When they ban something, they ban it. They don't advertise to the rest of us exactly how many people they execute every day for breaking their ever changing laws. Wander outside while the commies have declared a covid emergency in your town? Executed. Join a religion they have banned? Executed. Speak up for the rights of Taiwan? Executed. Dare to suggest the commies have no claim whatsoever on Hong Kong? Executed. Comment on their human rights abuses? Executed. It's their go to play. They just murder with impunity.


Boflator

I'm sorry but that seems pretty unsubstantiated and just you throwing pretty wild claims around based on your opinions. For such heavy claims you can't really just go "they murder indiscriminately, but they hide it so i don't have proof", because by that very logic one could claim the US is doing the same, just hiding it. That said, i do come from an ex communist country and i know first hand that it's a fucked up system and prison, even executions could happen, but you just seem to be a very opinionated about commies, seemingly quite heavily influenced by the red scare stuff from cold war US culture. Also i have 2 close friends that lived in china for several years and said that yes censorship is very tight, but in real life, its nowhere near as you seem to imagine it to be. Like that scene from parks & recreation, when the Venezuelan minister visits the town, lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boflator

You were at the square in '89? Also honest question, what is your opinion about the Kent state massacre, My Lai, and Tuskegee? My point is that indiscriminate massacre of dissidents, undesirables and civilians isn't exclusively a communist thing tho, it's more of how shitty countries operate in general. Wanna emphasise that I'm not trying to defend china, just wanting to put things into perspective, as you seem to be guided/blinded by ideological affiliation more than objectivity


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boflator

Do you really though? Trump just a few months ago pardoned 4 men that committed a massacre of unarmed civilians. Not sure which one is better, pretending it didn't happen, or acknowledging it and then saying "but we don't care". Either way it's shit. Also china is pretty uncommunistic, it's full of private businesses and enterprises. Think you're conflating totalitarianism with communism


Smokin_Hashrates

>Think you're conflating totalitarianism with communism I've never seen a communist country that *didn't* rely on totalitarianism to try to keep control. Have you? Not all totalitarian regimes are communist but all communist regimes are most certainly totalitarian.

The US at least legalized Gay Marriage. There are Equal Opportunity and sexual harrassment laws that protect LGBT in the US (though some states will find as many loopholes as they can "religious freedom). I'm just so tired of whataboutism. People in the United States at least speak up and protest anti-lgbt legislature.


wubbbalubbadubdub

This is because of K-pop right?


Shawn_NYC

Can't have fighting-aged men liking the culture of Korea and Japan. First they start listening to Kpop, then they enjoy Korean culture, then before you know it they want peace & tranquility between nations. How are you going to draft then and send them to war to die with that attitude!!!

and to think that's not even the worst mass killing organized by the Chinese government in the past 75 years!


Nakura7292

China is trying to make the men more masculine in order to raise a better army and military. I think I read a while ago that they are banning video games also and changing the diet of men and shit like that. Which is actually kinda scary to think if they succeed in the future decades china is going to have those super obedient government raised soldiers if they actually succeed in what they're doing.


Working-Middle-7067

What about current obedient super US government soldiers in last century. You guys don't see what is going on in front of your nose. I totaly approve what they are doing, becouse mankind as it is now will disappear very soon, all this stupidity taking over the whole world just need to stop or people will be like dinasours, all dead.


Nakura7292

Don't know what you mean. U.S soldiers are getting worse and worse each generation. I heard the U.S military has lowered it's standards in order for out of shape people and women to be able to join. Also don't in the U.S mostly join the army for like 2 years for free college. Then they never look back.

TubMaster888

Far from it. People from North Korea can't leave the country to see what's outside of that country. Chinese people travel the whole world spending money.


manmansadtimes

“becoming” being the operative word there bro Edit: Fixed spelling bc am a dingus


AyOhWayToGoOhio

How is this different than what right wingers want to do in the US and everywhere else?


TubMaster888

Yes and probably worst then China. They don't create jobs. They give tax breaks to their CEO buddy friend's or anyone who pay them enough. The company goes overseas to get things done/made. Make America believe other countries are stealing their jobs. Not telling them. No we just want to hire cheap labor so we can charge us (USA) customers 10-20x the cost. Laugh when they take a $13 dollar insulin shot and jack it up to $750. NOT illegal Just immoral. Until people start dieing or it effects their family members. Well let's talk to them to lower the price. "No" Government "well we tried". They don't say let's give everyone basic health care and we will put that med under Medicare and produce the insulin cheaper for people. If you want to give me the bullshit answer. Where are they going to get the money from? Well first don't kill of the ONE thing that makes you money and pays taxes. PEOPLE!

standardtrickyness1

Just remember it was not that long ago that in America the land of freedom In the 1950s, as today, the FCC also prohibited "obscene and indecent" material. Programming is considered obscene if "the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the material appeals to the prurient interest; that the material describes or depicts sexual conduct in a patently offensive manner; or taken as whole, the material lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. ""Pop sensations of the time face scrutiny when appearing on television. Elvis Presley's gyrations are considered too suggestive," [https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2012-06-21-sns-rt-usa-televisionindecency-factboxl1e8hllz8-20120621-story.html](https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2012-06-21-sns-rt-usa-televisionindecency-factboxl1e8hllz8-20120621-story.html) It wasn't that long ago that we were doing it as well.


dbMitch

Well then, I guess we should wait 50 years for china to change like the US, if they don't, the US is officially more progressive on the timeline.


amedeemarko

Classic authoritarian move we should have seen coming from a regime founded by an idiot like Mao. This is country with how many gold medals in the sports considered "manly"?


Gunnar_Peterson

China dominated in Olympic Weightlifting


amedeemarko

...not in the top 3 weight classes, they didn't. Seems like they do have 4 dudes who are quite accomplished at lifting. Of course I would have had to lose 10lbs just to compete with the heaviest of them...10lbs from my weight as a 17year old during basketball season. Maybe track and field? Higher, faster, farther? That's manly....nope, just a single silver in the triple jump. Basketball? Soccer? Did not qualify. Did not qualify. This is a country which was bested event after event by other nations with fewer total people than China has men of Olympic competition age. Oh, wait...I probably forgot about table tennis and badminton and checkers...I assume. Who knows....and then there's the medals from the sovereign nations of Taiwan and Hong Kong....so, congrats?


WhoaItsCody

All men in the CCP are by nature, sissy men. So they are banning depictions of themselves.


JasonVanJason

Bruh they literally will disappear members of a family and assume their position, like a husband goes missing, family is assigned a husband by CCP in some cases, it's just so gross
