I miss writing in my native language. I’ve been translating my comics into Chinese and publishing on a few Chinese websites. And here is the first reaction I got from the largest webcomic site:
“Dear author! Your episode “why I have children” has been taken down due to some censorship problems! Please check if it contains inharmony contents( politics, copyrights, pornography, advertisement, personal attacks, etc.)…”
Ah, it all came back, all the frustration being a creator in China where the government is sensitive to almost anything that matters or doesn’t matter at all. And what is this inharmony comic? It’s this one:
Here is a test of your political sensitivities:What’s politically wrong in this comic?
Clearly those police have angry faces, indicating that they are in fact “bad guys”. As such, it sends the inappropriate message that authority is bad!

China is paranoid. They even ban Taylor Swift from entering china for having a T-shirt with text “T.S. 1989”.
