Disney has removed an episode of The Simpsons referencing “forced labour camps” in China from its streaming service in Hong Kong.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment about why the episode, One Angry Lisa from The Simpsons’ 34th series, is not available to stream on Disney+ in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
