The only one standing up to China seems to be...

The Chinese Communist Party spent the week being very offended.

the Party has a much longer list of public enemies.

Starting with public enemy number 2, South Park.

South Park aired an episode called Band in China.

It was clearly creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone

venting all their frustrations about Hollywood and commercial

self-censorship to appease the Chinese Communist Party.

Who here thought that they had permission

to say anything critical of Chinese politics?

The Chinese seem to exploit their own people with forced labor and…

the show that mocked censorship in China,

we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes

We too love money more than freedom and democracy.”

Almost as savage as the NBA and South Park

about China in a week than China Uncensored

But now it's time for China's public enemy Number 3.

The video game company behind World of Warcraft

and the reason my college roommate failed out of school,

The company banned “a professional Hearthstone player in Hong Kong,

while forcing him to forfeit a reported $10,000 in prize money.”

So that was at first a confusing statement to me

because I didn't know what a Hearthstone is

or how much money you could make playing video games professionally.

I obviously wasted my life doing some stupid show

The Hearthstone player was banned for shouting

“Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times.”

offends a portion or group of the public,

because that offended a group of the public—

On the other hand, Blizzard may also have to ban itself

because their move offended all the members of the public

There's talk of a global boycott against Blizzard.

And more unity from Democrats and Republicans.

Democratic Senator Ron Wyden said Blizzard showed

to please the Chinese Communist Party.”

People who don't live in #China must either self censor

because they're “not advertiser friendly.”

Okay, so Blizzard might be the most hated video game company

successfully got out in front of this and avoided

becoming public enemy number one in China, right?

Well, unfortunately for Activision Blizzard,

Someone suggested on Reddit that it would be a shame

if a character from the popular Blizzard game Overwatch

became the new symbol of the Hong Kong protests.

Yeah, that would be a real shame if that happened.

And now on to China's public enemy number 4.
