> It would be the equivalent of a Chinese sitcom where a character might suggest that visit a Texas Barbecue you might get shot by some revolver-wielding cowboy. I don't think many Americans would take offense.

That’s fair enough, maybe I’m over analyzing. But you probably wouldn’t find that joke on TV in America either.

As an aside, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a joke like that on an American TV show.

To the point: it definitely would not be removed from Foreign-made media before shown on American services. Especially as a result of some government-driven mandate.
