Chinese officials warn comedians that mocking the other sex is no laughing matter | China
The Chinese state officials warned comedians against confusing incompatibility among gender and told them to criticize them in a constructive way, not to be funny.

Zhejiang’s promotional department scolded some comedy shows to be a “war area ve and simplify gender problems as“ opposition between men and women ”.
“Criticism is clearly good, but for the sake of being funny, instead of returning around gender opposition.
The department also presented comedians the clues about how to discuss gender in sets.
“It is better to explore the social reasons of this mentality, instead of mocking ‘men who trust blindly’.” “It is better to think about how consumer shaped gender roles instead of blindly mocking ‘materialist women’.”
The warning did not name a particular comedian, but called the King of the Stand-Up Comedy of the Stand-up comedy of the Flow platform, and spoke of a new person called an online “industry jewel”.

The Chinese art scene has always been censored by the ruling communist party intensively, and the authorities tightened this supervision in the last decade. However, Sunday’s warning led to some online criticisms.

Raced customers, mostly men, filled the company’s social media with angry interpretations after appearing at a Yang promotional event.
However, this month, fans applauded Fangzuren for telling his story.
“The environment is changing people and will encourage women’s awakening,” Weibo said.
“When I said I wanted to divorce in the village, ım I was not forgiven,” he wrote. “Outside, when I talk about my divorce, the audience applauds.”
