China reportedly blocked HBO after Last Week Tonight host John Olivers comments last week attacking the countrys human rights record and mocking President Xi Jinping.
Chinese internet users were unable to sign onto HBO.com after Olivers comments aired, the New York Daily News reported, citing Chinese internet monitoring site Greatfire.org. Oliver last week slammed Chinese lawmakers abolition of presidential term limits and the countrys political doctrine of Xi Jinping Thought. Oliver said that Xis consolidation of power is driven by a cult of personality. The host went on to liken Xi to the cartoon bear Winnie the Pooh. He said Xi is is very sensitive about his perceived resemblance to Winnie the Pooh. Additionally, the comedian mocked the countrys $1 trillion Belt and Road initiative, an ambitious foreign policy plan that aims to place China at the center of world trade. Greatfire said that tests on Saturday and Sunday showed HBOs website was blocked, according to the New York Daily News. Weibo, Chinas social media giant, blocked Oliver from its website, according to Reuters. Weibo blocked and deleted posts referring to Oliver in reaction to the hosts segment. Fulll Article: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/06/25/china-blocks-hbos-website-after-john-olivers-segment-on-xi-jinping-report.html ![]() 80/80 Oliver just made a list of China's enemies. Incidentially I do like the fact that conservatives are coming to bat for him here. No matter your political opinions if you believe in American values you should be upset at China trying to silence people from talking/thinking --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ...

Maybe we can give that a shot some dayXi already wrote his name into the Chinese & Communist Constitution. He can literally be President for life if he wants to. Might as well retitle his position to be Emperor Xi Jing-ping. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico' ... Copied to Clipboard!

The fall of Xi and the destruction of the Communist Party of China is one of the best things that could possibly happen for the world.Get in line, there are literally millions of people who want the same thing. The problem is that the CCP is literally the ruling party and has the military loyal to that party written in their constitution. They are a ruling party of 20+ million people spread throughout all levels of Government from top to bottom and in the Bureaucracies. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico' ...
