Before the cult 1999 film began streaming in China, censors drastically changed the ending so that the anarchist narrator is caught and punished for his crimes.
PRC didn't do it though. It already debuted in cinemas unedited. This came out pre-9/11 and like @KobaCumTribute mentioned, the author's books had been subject to censorship in the US. Futhermore, the ending message was written in English. It's not hard to imagine that the censorship came from the US and that's what 1 particular streaming platform got and ran with.
