According to Bloomberg, Saturday Night Live (SNL) is coming to China by partnering with Sohu.com.
As a person who likes SNL for its comedy and creativity, I believe this is great news for China. Chinese people can laugh more and also realize certain issues around the country and the world through satire. However, here are two concerns regarding the launch of Chinese SNL.
First, the Chinese government is like to either put pressure or engage in some sort of censorship. This is especially concerning, given that the current government is not so US friendly.
Second, rip-offs. China has copy-right issues and it won't be surprising if there is a lot of ripping off the SNL sketch.
I look forward to seeing the Chinese SNL ^^
