South Park content has reportedly been scrubbed off the internet in China after a controversial episode critical of Chinese censorship and the detention of Muslim minorities.
The Hollywood Reporter noted on Monday that Chinese government censors have begun deleting every clip, episode and online platform of the show from its highly-regulated internet.
Searches on the social media site Weibo turn up zero South Park content. Links to episodes and full seasons of the Comedy Central show on streaming service Youku are dead, according to the outlet.
A message reading "According to the relevant law and regulation, this section is temporarily not open reportedly turns up on a South Park thread on Chinas largest discussion platform, Baidus Tieba.
The ban on South Park content reportedly follows a recent episode entitled Band in China, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the episode, Randy gets caught attempting to sell weed in China and is sent to a work camp similar to the re-education internment camps in the Xinjiang Province where possibly more than 2 million Muslim minorities have been held.

Have they no Tegrity?
I was having lunch and passed a ziti through my nose on that!
That took them longer than I figured. Must have something to do with the time difference. I figured it would have been banned before it was over.
They were Ok with “Everyone knows General Tso’s chicken”?
When a cartoon threatens your control on power so much you have to censor it, you’ve already got one foot in the grave.
If a Chinese person searched for ‘South Park’ would their Social Media score drop 100 points?
Lol!

Respect muh authority!
No, but that’s because SNL is boring and not funny, so no one watches it.
They don’t have “internet”, they have China Channel 1. The internet was created by free people for free people. The rest of the world and Democrats can’t handle it.
Say otherwise and they will (literally) erase you and your life.
They killed Pooh. Those bastids
No, “Randy” killed Pooh. for them.
Randy was a hitman for the chicoms
That was a fantastic episode. Said to Hubby: "I assume Trey Parker and Matt Stone will NEVER be able to step foot in China after this one."
Just lots of fentanyl which they “import” one way or another.
No.
The Chicoms have "authoritah"...and YOU will respect it!
I think the commies and the Iranians are going to have a very hard time censoring the internet , as their people are very smart and innovative
