As Disney+ launches in Hong Kong, viewers have noticed that the streaming service has kowtowed to China by editing out something that might offend the Chinese Community Party.
An episode of “The Simpsons” that includes a scene in Tiananmen Square is not available in Hong Kong, according to CNN.
The episode was No. 12 in the long-running animated series’ 16th season. For Hong Kong subscribers, that season goes from Episode 11 to Episode 13.
The 2005 episode, “Goo Goo Gai Pan,” covers the cartoon family’s travels in China.
When the Simpsons visit Tiananmen Square in Beijing, they see a plaque that reads, “On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.”
The sarcasm is a reference to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, a banned subject in China. Months-long student-led demonstrations were brutally broken up on June 4, 1989, at the cost of several hundred lives.
In the episode, the Simpsons also visit the embalmed body of Mao Zedong, whom Homer Simpson describes as “a little angel that killed 50 million people,” according to The New York Times.

No surprise Winnie the Pooh dropped that episode in the memory hole.
“a little angel that killed 50 million people“
Which is no doubt offensive because the party hasn’t given permission to call them people.
It is so disgusting to see these cowards caving in to such a filthy evil racist regime. These CEOs and Boards are cowards. China is entirely untrustworthy and will screw them all at every turn. China has broken every promise from Hong Kong onward.
Snow White is now Yellow Snow
I guess “The Aristocats” is also a no sale in Hong Kong?
What nationality is Chewie? He’s missing too.
and the Wookiee too
Yet, they have nearly nude “family pics” hanging besides Lilo’s (a Hawaiian child) bed, in the Lilo and Stitch movie.
Protect the Chicoms from the truth....yet, fill our own children with evil images.
Got it.
Yes, Disney, Hollywood, etal, all of them touching their toes for China.
...The black guy is still in the poster, he’s just smaller and moved down. The pilot suit guy, how can you even tell if he’s Arab or black..?
