Disney Self-Censors ‘Simpsons’ Episode Critical Of Chinese Government

admin by admin
February 9, 2023
in Animation


An episode of The Simpsons critical of the Chinese government has been omitted from the Disney+ platform in Hong Kong.

Which episode? “One Angry Lisa,” episode two of the show’s 34th season, sees Marge get a new exercise bike that takes her on a virtual tour of the Great Wall of China. During the ride, Marge’s instructor says, “Behold the wonders of China. Bitcoin mines, forced labor camps where children make smartphones.”

What’s the joke referring to? The trainer’s comments are likely referencing Chinese policies toward the Muslim Uighur population in Xinjiang. Reports throughout the years have indicated that the Chinese government has committed numerous human rights violations in an attempt to oppress and control the Uighur population. The country’s actions have been widely condemned by human rights organizations, governments, and the United Nations. The Chinese government denies the abuses and says its actions are part of a poverty alleviation plan to improve Xinjiang’s economic situation. Communist party leaders in Beijing have also previously stated that its activities in the region will help prevent future domestic terrorism.
