Censorship is the other name of the authoritarian government of China. It shuts hundreds of websites and doesn’t allow Google or twitter. Now going a step ahead, the authorities have banned any reference or sue of hip-hop culture and tattoos in the media calling it ‘low taste content’.
The media houses got four “don'ts” by Gao Changli, the publicity department director at the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China (SAPPRFT). The advisory said: “Don’t use actors who are tasteless, vulgar and obscene. Absolutely do not use actors whose ideological level is low and have no class.'
Recently, Hip hop artists Wang Hao, known as “PG One” and Zhou Yan, known as “GAI”, both won popular television show “Rap of China “, were sanctioned for bad behaviour or content at odds with Communist Party values.
In 2017, Beijing’s Municipal Bureau of Culture said it was “not appropriate” for Justin Bieber to tour in China because previous performances there had created “public dissatisfaction.” In August 2017, organisers aiming to bring Grammy Award-winning artists to China said they would only “promote artists with a positive and healthy image.”
Net users in China have reacted with anger on social media.
