South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker hit back at China after the government scrubbed the show from the Chinese internet.
The episode,"Band in China" is a critique of how Hollywood shapes its content to avoid offending Chinese government censors. "South Park" has never been afraid to be offensive, which is why the show now virtually no longer exists in China. Every clip, any online discussion from Chinese streaming services, social media and even fan pages have been deleted by the government, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
— South Park October 7, 2019 Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey expressed support for Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests in a tweet on Sunday. The backlash came quickly: The Chinese Basketball Association said it would suspend all cooperation with the team, and China's top state broadcaster announced that it would suspend airing Houston Rockets events on television.
