In a way his segment is a big deal.
The Chinese can censor anything they like. During the Arab Spring, which inspired Chinese protests and at the time was sometimes referred to as the “Jasmine revolution”, the word “jasmine” was effectively banned from the Chinese internet. From the rice itself to the Disney character, “jasmine” disappeared overnight.
The implication of such a strict censorship system is that any uncensored content is endorsed by the Communist Party. So if anybody says anything that China doesn’t like, into the censorship bin it goes.
This comment would probably get censored.
