Chinese officials warn comedians that mocking the other sex is no laughing matter
"Chinese provincial officials have warned comedians against stirring up discord between the genders, instructing them to criticise constructively rather than “for the sake of being funny”.
The warning came from authorities in eastern Zhejiang province on WeChat over the weekend after a comedian referred to her allegedly abusive marriage in a performance that went viral on Chinese social media.
Women’s rights are sensitive territory in China – over the last decade, authorities have cracked down on almost every form of independent feminist activism.
Zhejiang’s publicity department chastised some comedy shows for becoming a “battlefield” and simplifying gender issues into “opposition between men and women”."
