For some strange reason, HBO is no longer available in China.

The laughter of the woman in the crowd that you can hear throughout the episode is something that brings me a smile.

Do you think John Oliver sits in a room sometimes and asks himself, "What country do I never want to visit the rest of my life this week?"

To the girl that got to say the uncensored f word on national tv and get paid for it this was probably the greatest moment of her life lol

I worked with some exchange students from China, and I brought up the Winnie The Pooh vs Xi situation and they had obviously absolutely no idea what I was talking about, so I showed them multiple examples and they thought it was the best thing they’ve ever seen about him

I'm actually in China at this very moment, streaming this over a VPN, pissing myself laughing, and sharing it with my Chinese friends, who are also laughing, albeit slightly nervously. Well done, sir. Well done indeed!

AT&T literally did become their parent company and John Oliver kept shit talking and criticising them. So good!

12:48 I love how John added a roast for AT&T in there. 😂

Fun fact: this zazu bit was done WAY before The Lion King reboot was announced so while it's fair to assume that was already in the works, it's also fair to figure he just threaded the joke needle

I guess China won't tolerate any That's What Xi Said jokes

Am I the only one who was patiently waiting for a “That’s what Xi said” joke? :(

Jesus, Liu Xiaobo was already my hero before I even knew about the mug thing. Imagine now.

Xi Jinping seems like the type to pretend to dislike comparisons to Winnie the Pooh so his opponents start to unconsciously associate him with a cuddly, harmless cartoon animal.

The last time I heard “we’ll share our prosperity with the world” the fire nation invaded soon after
