The Simpsons were popular in China until that episode in Season 16 when the family flew to Beijing. Passing through Tienanmen Square, they saw signs saying: "On this site, in 1989, nothing happened", and encounter a tank parked one block away. Homer also visited Mao Zedong's embalmed body, which he likens to "a little angel who killed 50 million people", and poses as a Buddha to enter an orphanage. The family also visited "Tibet Town", a Chinatown sort of attraction surrounded by barbed wire, where Homer noted, "Wow, the fortune cookies here really are more accurate!" The Simpson's were promptly taken off the air for the next ten years in China. But a comical foreign politician who admires dictators like Putin? Yeah, that's bound to be popular in China.
