Violent Video Games
If you are a hardcore fan of violent FPS (first-person shooter) games, China is certainly not the place for you. The Chinese Government has prohibited violent video games. And not only violence but sex and gambling-related games are also banned in China.
China announced the ban on (allegedly) violent video games in April 2019, stating that such games negatively influence young minds. Hence, they should not be played by anyone and not just the youth. This ban includes popular games such as Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and I.G.I-2.
Furthermore, games with plots that revolve around demeaning or showing the Chinese government in a negative light have also been banned, for obvious reasons.

Because China has banned Instagram.
Instagram banned. Seems quite irrational, right? Well, not for the Chinese Government that completely censored it starting September 2014 to stop people from sharing instigating images during the pro-democracy protests.
But Instagram is not the only one thing, China has a long list of banned artifacts – from popular websites such as Facebook and YouTube to some peculiar stuff such as cartoon characters and flowers. And we are going to look at some of them in this article.
So brace yourselves for the eight most strange things China has banned for various reasons.
