A Chinese reality show, On the Road, featuring a millionaire couple's travels, was censored in China after an episode showed them with Kurdish forces fighting ISIS in Syria. The couple, Zhang Xinyu and Liang Hong, had previously gained fame for their global travels and acts such as recreating a Buddha destroyed by the Taliban. Despite their positive impact on Chinese soft power, their show was removed from streaming sites, and their social media accounts were frozen following the controversial episode. The episode included footage of Kurdish fighters with outdated weapons, interviews with ISIS captives, and the use of a drone to locate ISIS positions. The Chinese authorities' censorship of the show and suppression of discussions on terrorism reflect their approach to controlling public discourse on sensitive topics.
