The Real Reason China Banned ‘The Big Bang Theory’
Posted in: UncategorizedWhy are Chinese regulators picking on “The Big Bang Theory,” which was just booted off Chinese online streaming platforms along with three other U.S. TV shows?
The move left perplexed fans asking how a sitcom about quirky scientists is more objectionable than other shows still allowed online, like the politically sensitive “House of Cards” or retro-kinky “Masters of Sex” (which shows in China with some anatomical features pixelated.)
China’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television hasn’t explained why it targeted “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Good Wife,” “NCIS” and “The Practice.” So it’s possible that — for some obscure reason regulators found something subversive or threatening about those four shows.
