No Doctor Who for You (in China)! The Chinese Government Bans TV Time Travel

The Chinese Government is on the whack juice! For some reason, they have ban any shows or movies that has time travel in it.

In a bizarre move, China’s television censors have issued new guidelines that all but ban TV dramas featuring time travel.


In a statement (available here in Chinese) dated March 31, the State Administration for Radio, Film & Television said that TV dramas that involve characters traveling back in time “lack positive thoughts and meaning.” The guidelines discouraging this type of show said that some “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”

So in China, you can't watch Doctor Who or any sci-fi adventures? That's just wrong, just WRONG.
