There was recent talk about banning My Little Pony and Peppa Pig and I suspect it has more to do with them being owned by Hasbro than by problematic content (Peppa Pig is Br*tish tho).
I was skeptical because I recently saw people recommending Peppa Pig to new chinese learners because it is easy and popular with actualy children in China.
Peppa Pig was introduced to Chinese audiences in 2015, when the cartoons were aired on state broadcaster CCTV, and has since become immensely popular. Two Peppa Pig theme parks, in Beijing and Shanghai, are set to open next year.
How nice of you to actualy include the most relevant part of the story deep near the the end of article.
China is banning Peppa Pig.
China is ALSO opening not ONE but TWO Peppa Pig theme parks.
If there was any time in history where journalism was actualy a thing it was probably near 100 years ago. Everything since is 90% garbage clickbait shit like this.
It is just amazing how everything that happens in China gets summarized into some stupid headline "China bans X" or "China is doing Y" etc even when it is some minor or irrelevant event.
I thought maybe since most Hasbro shows are just commercials for toys that that might be something they'd want broadcast. China's happy to make all those toys tho, so idk.

But yes it appears it is partialy true. It wasn't banned it was just a single case of a hashtag being removed from a popular video host site.

Does China not like Hasbro out of curiosity?
