A Chinese comedian who crossed Beijing’s political red line has been censored across Chinese social media platforms following his tour of North America that wrapped up in Toronto last month.
Wang Yeuchi, who is also known by his stage name Chi Zi, embarked on a tour starting Feb. 7 in Vancouver, visiting cities in Canada and the United States. The tour, dubbed “Cultural Output” in Chinese, was regarded as a satire on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda campaign that seeks to promote the regime’s image and cultural influence.
