Time Travel Plots in Shows and Movies
If a ban on Peppa was not enough for you, we have something even stranger for you – time travel. China is infamous for banning the most absurd things, objects, or concepts that are by no means related to the destabilization of the state. And one of them is Time travel plots in movies, tv shows, and OTA series.
According to the government, the concept of time travel promotes subversion of history. The act of a person going back in time and changing the course of action of events signifies negativity and a lack of logical reasoning – two factors the Chinese government condemns.
This might be one of the reasons why the recent Dr. Strange movie faced a ban in China.
8 Strange Things Banned In China
Let us begin by asking you two simple questions. First, are you someone who spends a lot of time scrolling through Instagram and can’t even imagine life without it? Second, are you planning to visit or move to China? If the answer to both these questions is a yes, then, unfortunately, you’ll have to give up on one thing – IG or China! Because China has banned Instagram.
Instagram banned. Seems quite irrational, right? Well, not for the Chinese Government that completely censored it starting September 2014 to stop people from sharing instigating images during the pro-democracy protests.
But Instagram is not the only one thing, China has a long list of banned artifacts – from popular websites such as Facebook and YouTube to some peculiar stuff such as cartoon characters and flowers. And we are going to look at some of them in this article.
So brace yourselves for the eight most strange things China has banned for various reasons.
