Line 153:
* The last episode of the historical series ''[[Towards the Republic]]'' was censored, as it ends with a speech by Sun Yat-sen about the merits of democracy.

He jokingly took this as a threat, saying "[[Double Entendre|double entendres]] and [[Refuge in Vulgarity|fart jokes]] are [[Badass Boast|too threatening to the mighty Chinese regime]]," and lamented that they would therefore miss his guest for the evening, [[Morgan Freeman]].
* Portions of the broadcast of ''Anderson Cooper 360'' that aired from May 2, 2012 onwards on [[
* Just like with films, everything that depicts supernatural entities, folk myths, ghosts, zombies, and homosexual relationships is usually banned. Which makes things like live-action adaptations of novels with supernatural elements and homosexual romance quite tricky, making such adaptations confined to web platforms, and even there gay romances are toned down to [[Bromance]]s with unusual amounts of pining when not resorting to [[Gender Swap]] the ''[[Uke|shou]]'' into a woman. The adaptation of ''Guardian'' transformed all the supernatural elements into Sci-Fi ones (because animal shape-shifting spirits from mythology are a no-go but shape-shifting aliens are allowed), and ''[[The Untamed]]'' (the Live-action adaptation of ''Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'') did everything in their power to obfuscate that the original story was about a revived [[necromancer]].
