Above all, talent must show clear loyalty to the ruling Chinese Communist Party

Of course, this is a real goal.

P!

[ilovesarah2012]

I oppose censorship but I totally understand.

[GoldenState_Rose]

Average Chinese idolize black basketball players. Black celebs and Americans in general. Chinese gov finds this threatening.

[mac_truck]

Any effort to rid the world of hip-hop can’t be all bad.

”Above all, talent must show clear loyalty...”

Harvey Weinstein writ large.

[Fresh Wind]

I will be anxiously waiting for the SJWs in the US to brand China as racist for this.

[Vaquero]

Our first amendment defends this filth. Glad we have the first…sorry we have to put up with that crap.

[prophetic]

Lol, so they ban MTV as well in China? I'd be very surprised of it gets even 1% viewership over there. They are very disparaging to the black American culture & they don't hesitate to show it.

I consider that a step in the right direction. Rap & hip-hop is not music but violence on the ears & minds of people forced to listen to it. To those who choose to listen to it, I say they never had much brains to begin with anyways.

[Clutch Martin]

...lest they turn into a westernized cesspool.

[cranked]

Hey, is sub cultures the same as sh**hole countries? /s

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Some rap is good. At least some of the rappers talk about how dysfunctional society is for some black people. The rap with the violence and see crap I avoid.

Either way - it's easy to understand why a halfway decent human being wouldn't want this animalistic savage culture existing within their midst:

[Da Coyote]

The only reason to “like” hip-hop is that it will destroy whatever civilization that it infects. And, if we can totally export it, we can once again perhaps maybe have real music here in the states.

Let’s see if the liberals offended by Trump’s “sh!thole” statement react to this.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I love hip-hop music. As opposed to rock stars who go on drug binges, screech neo-Satanic lyrics, have orgies with underage girls, and then commit suicide.

[dfwgator]

I always think of “Michael Bolton” in Office Space rapping in his car on the way to work....

There are some derogatory narratives circulating on China's social media, disparaging Western liberals. Regime apparently allows them. If it picks up steam, suddenly China would become another evil “rivaling” Trump. It will take a while even if it does. For now, their sole obsession is Trump.

[Vision]

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

[Sirius Lee]

At least the Chinese care about their own culture.

The libs have made every filthy act of violence, rape, destruction, arson, sedition, and vice into a matter of 1st Amendment rights - except for prayer and Conservative political speech.

The latter, the safeguarding of which, are precisely the true intent of 1st Amendment's protections, are actively censored and in some cases banned.
