Movies with Keanu Reeves are reportedly blocked in China.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the superstar actor recently attended an event supporting Tibet, and the hammer has apparently now dropped. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The Los Angeles Times reported that “the vast majority” movies featuring Reeves have been pulled from Chinese streaming services.
In the wake of his show of support for Tibet earlier this month, Keanu Reeves has fallen afoul of China’s strict censorship regime, placing his future career in the world’s largest film market in jeopardy.https://t.co/i3NgiSYnKX

It’s worth noting that it’s not clear whether the government ordered the movies to be censored or if the streamers got it done ahead of an inevitable decision from the CCP.
Those in Tibet view the area as independent, while China views it as part of its own territory, according to the BBC. That has led to a long-standing feud, and Reeves will now have to pay a price for choosing to stand with the people of Tibet.

This is the latest example of China attempting to censor western culture. When former Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey supported people in Hong Kong, the CCP went to war with the NBA.
Now, Reeves is apparently no longer welcomed with open arms for the terrible crime of supporting Tibet! China certainly can’t tolerate differing opinions in 2022!

You either get in line with what the dictatorship wants, or you’re done! There are countless examples of American companies bowing to the CCP and the Olympics were just hosted in the dictatorship. However, if you go against China, the country will attempt to ruin you.
Props to Bill Maher for exposing the crimes of China. It’s a damn shame there aren’t more people willing to speak up.
There is no moral equivalency between the USA and China’s communist dictatorship.
We’re the good guys, and they’re a genocidal regime that crushes freedom. https://t.co/rko4dAMP2g

That’s what’s happening here, and you’d be foolish to think otherwise.
