List of episodes
"Band in China" is the second episode of the twenty-third season of the American animated television series South Park. The 299th episode overall of the series, it premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on October 2, 2019.[2] The episode parodies media censorship in China, and the manner in which the American entertainment industry purposefully compromises its productions to avoid it.[3]
Despite receiving generally positive reviews from American critics, the episode triggered a negative response from China. The Chinese government banned South Park entirely following this episode’s release, a move which in turn drew criticism from the creators of the show.[4]
