Xiao Pa, real name Paziliyaer Paerhati, is said to have ‘stirred up gender conflicts and created anxiety over marriage and childbirth’
Authorities said the Weibo account of Uygur stand-up comedian Xiao Pa was suspended as part of a cyberspace clean-up campaign during the Chinese New Year.
Xiao Pa, whose real name is Paziliyaer Paerhati, was banned from posting online, a verified Weibo community manager posted on Friday.
“Xiao Pa had posted information that stirred up gender conflicts and created anxiety over marriage and childbirth … and was banned,” the post read.
“We call on users to not intentionally associate gender topics when discussing public affairs, not create hate towards certain groups and avoid cultivating a confrontational and divisive public image.”
The manager cited demands of an internet clean-up campaign from the regulatory watchdog, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).
