Deep dives
First Chinese Cancellation
Nigel Long (aka Uncle Roger) discusses his first cancellation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in January 2021. He collaborated with a food vlogger to review a video of a chef making dumplings. However, the vlogger was known for being critical of the CCP and linked to an organization called Falun Gong, leading to Nigel's video being reported and his Chinese social media accounts getting suspended. Nigel's team advised him to issue a statement, which unintentionally came across as an apology, causing some backlash from Western audiences. Nigel acknowledges that he may not be able to visit China or Hong Kong in the future as a result.
