Chin Hoshi, a popular Chinese comedian, has experienced this. The Chinese government has turned a blind eye to the studio the comedian is associated with after comparing the Chinese army to stray dogs.

According to the information, after the remarks made by Li Hoshi in a stand-up comedy show, the Chinese government has imposed a fine of Rs 16 crore on this studio. The government called this remark an insult to the army.

Comedian Li Hoshi’s show was held in Beijing. Beijing Corporation says that we will not allow any company or person to tarnish the bright image of the Chinese Army. Li Hoshi has gravely insulted the Chinese military.

The corporation has also indefinitely suspended an upcoming show by Lee Hoshi’s Comedy Studio. Along with this, the studio’s amount of $ 1.8 million has also been seized.

In remarks that sparked controversy, Li Hoshi said that two stray dogs were chasing a squirrel and that the brutality of chasing dogs was reminiscent of a Chinese military slogan. The slogan is… Lead by example and fight to win…

Meanwhile, a group of actors from the China Association of Performing Arts has also announced a boycott of comedian Li in protest of the remarks.
