I'm a bit informed about the current situation actually. It's just that the reason behind this law in particular is just... Comical...

Yeah, authoritarianism and nationalism are very fragile when looking behind their mask.

Yeah, they imprisoned a Chinese UFC fighter who said he could beat any traditional Chinese martial artist because their kung fu doesn't work in the real world.

They agreed to set up the match and when he, predictably, beat the living shit out of the spiritual mumbo jumbo guy, over and over again, they claimed he intentionally dishonored China and tried to lock him up.
