Why Justin Bieber has been banned in China?
In 2017, Beijing’s Culture Bureau in China released a statement saying that it was not appropriate to allow entertainers who have engaged in ‘bad behaviour’ – the reason why the ministry banned Justin Bieber from performing in the country.
“Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer,” the statement read. “We hope that as Justin Bieber matures, he can continue to improve his own words and actions, and truly become a singer beloved by the public,” it added. However, the statement did not offer any further explanation about which Bieber’s run-ins with the law it was referring to.
The statement came as a response to one of Justin’s fan’s query about why no venue had been booked in mainland China ahead of the pop star’s Asia-wide tour. The singer thus joined a long list of musicians who were similarly blacklisted by China.
