On Thursday, a special “Friends” series was shown on the HBO Max streaming service, marking the 15th anniversary of the end of filming.
The series featured all of the series’ main characters – Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Coke, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Leblan, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Other actors and music stars also appeared episodically.
In China, the series was broadcast on three video platforms, but censors had cut out all the stars that had once caused the anger of the ruling Communist Party.
In 2016, Lady Gaga’s tour of China was banned after her meeting with Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, who Beijing calls a separatist.

Canadian singer Justin Bieber has been banned from touring China since 2014 after his visit to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Japan. The Shinto shrine honors 2.5 million people killed in the war, including 14 convicted war criminals. China and South Korea see Yasukuni as a symbol of Japan’s former militaryism, but visiting the shrine is interpreted as a misunderstanding or lack of regret about wartime history.
