TikTok star Uncle Roger's social media accounts in China have been suspended following a crackdown by authorities on public figures poking fun at the authoritarian government. British-Malaysian comic, Nigel Ng - who goes by his stage name Uncle Roger - told fans over the weekend that his accounts on Bilibili and Weibo had been suspended for a "violation of relevant laws and regulations".
He suggested it was due to a clip he had posted on his Twitter days earlier. The video, which was a promotion for an upcoming live show, sees Uncle Roger ask where an audience member comes from.
The man replies: "Guangzhou, China", to which the comic responds "Good country! Good country! We have to say that now, correct? All the phones listening… this nephew got Huawei phone, they all listening."
