Good, good....the more the merrier. Maybe finally the world will stop cuddling with China like they did in past 3 decades and start treating them for what they really are. A tight grip censorship dictatorship that has thrown dust in the world's eyes posing as softies while behind the scenes they amassed a lot of wealth riding West blindness.

Deleted only from the web controlled by the Peopple's Republic of China. You can still access South Park from the Republic of China and elsewhere. (Look what I did there: two countries, not one.)

That's because China is in English a short term for People's Republic of China while Republic of China's short term is Taiwan.

Is it irony that the episode on censorship isn't even available outside of the States?

There is no US-only restriction. Some locations might be restritcted, but I could watch the episode in Estonia. https://southpark.cc.com/

If you cannot watch the episode in your country, here is a link to the "Band in China" on facebook (subbed in traditional Chinese): https://www.facebook.com/fighterstudiohk/videos/396572967928...

Uhm? Facebook is the first thing that non-Western countries will block for political reasons.
