Sorry if I'm kind of emotional, today the Chinese government just banned around 240 animes, even the ones that personal companies gotten the copyright of was taken down. Apparently it was for "violence" or something, but half of that stuff isn't even violent. Sure there is actual violent stuff like Blood-C but there's things like Assassination Classroom getting banned, like, why? Why are they even trying though, it's the Internet, if someone wants to watch it they'll find it, and yep.
I don't know too much about politics but judging by forums in China people are pretty unhappy about it, more details did come out and it was that parents complained that their kids could find things like that on the internet. Well we all know what can get on YouTube......
One thing is that China doesn't have a rating system like the E for everyone T for teens and M for mature thing, so something that's not "everyone friendly" will get banned from public TV. Also it has been forbidden to show any foreign animated shows in the evening TV slot since 2010 or something.
I'm not really judging China in any ways, it's my home country after all, I'm just pretty sad about the fact that it'll be harder to find places to watch anime online now...
