Comedian Nigel Ng 's Chinese Social Media accounts have been suspended, amid what seems to be a crackdown by Beijing on comics.
Last Tuesday, Ng tweeted a promo clip for his upcoming show which poked fun at China's authoritarian government.

Ng's Weibo and Bilibili accounts - China's Twitter and Youtube - were frozen at the weekend.
A message on his Weibo account, where he has More Than 400,000 followers, reads: " The user has been banned from posting as he has violated relevant laws and regulations. "
Ng on Monday reposted the video on Twitter, This Time with the caption: " For some reason this clip got a ton of views this past weekend. I Wonder why. "

He then joked about being monitored by Beijing via his smartphone: " They [are] all listening. All our phones tap into it. Long live President Xi. Long live President Xi. "
But this is not Ng's first brush with China's strict media environment.
In January 2021, he collaborated with Mike Chen, a YouTuber who is a known critic of Beijing on Twitter, to produce a video where they critiqued a dumpling Recipe .
and posted an apology on Weibo. He Said he " wasn't aware of his political thoughts and his past incorrect remarks about China".
Ng shot to fame three years ago after posting a Youtube video where he made fun of BBC host Hersha Patel for her egg Fried Rice Recipe , where she washed and drained Cooked Rice in a colander.
He's the latest target in what appears to be a crackdown by Beijing on comedians.
Last week, Chinese comedian Li Haoshi was arrested after he made a joke comparing his dogs to a military slogan.
The Company that hired him was also fined a hefty 14. 7m yuan ($2. 1m; £1. 7m), a disproportionately large sum, and has sparked fears stand-up comedy could be wiped out in the country.
Li has apologised for his comments, but.
