China's Censorship Silences Comedian Uncle Roger's Jokes.

Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, known as Uncle Roger, had his Chinese social media account suspended after making jokes about China, including Beijing's claims of sovereignty over Taiwan and Chinese surveillance. Ng is the latest comedian to face consequences for jokes that could be perceived as reflecting negatively on China under increasing censorship and rising nationalism. A Chinese comedian, Li Haoshi, is also under investigation for a joke he made about the People's Liberation Army and could face jail time.
