China Uncensored
Commentary program focused on China
China Uncensored is a YouTube commentary channel that focuses on sensitive political issues in China with elements of humor and irony. The show opposes the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Chris Chappell is the host of the series.[2][3]
Until 2020,[citation needed] the YouTube show was compiled into longer 30-minute episodes aired by New York–based New Tang Dynasty Television, which is affiliated with Falun Gong, a new religious movement banned in China.[2][4] NTD added Chinese subtitles to these longer episodes and broadcast them into mainland China.[4] Vox has described the show as an affiliate of "The Epoch Times's media empire".[5]
China Uncensored is owned and produced by America Uncovered LLC, a New York–based company owned by Chris Chappell and his co-hosts that also produces the YouTube show America Uncovered and the podcast China Unscripted.[6]
In April 2017, Apple TV temporarily blocked China Uncensored in mainland China, citing local laws, and also blocked the show in Hong Kong and Taiwan.[7][3][8][9] The app was restored to Taiwan and Hong Kong after a petition gained more than 10,000 signatures, according to China Uncensored.[10] According to Reporters Without Borders, the app was restored in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.[7]
