This isn't the first time seemingly harmless content has become forbidden in China.

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker hit back at China after the government scrubbed the show from the Chinese internet.

"South Park" has never been afraid to be offensive, which is why the show now virtually no longer exists in China. Every clip, any online discussion from Chinese streaming services, social media and even fan pages have been deleted by the government, according to the Hollywood Reporter."Like the NBA, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts," they said in a statement on Twitter."We too love money more than freedom and democracy.

The NBA said Monday that it recognizes that Morey's views"have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China, which is regrettable."
