In which country was Lewis Carroll's book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' banned?

Well definitely animals are way above human kind! They do not start wars and do not destroy the only planet that keeps them alive ! China 👎🏻

China kills all their stray animals once a year, that's why they don't want to see them as more than animals

Well, China has always been about controlling the people. We need to be careful to work at preserving our freedom and exercising it at every opportunity.

lol oh China

Player #3629642, wow, isn't that true about perspective. At first, no books with animals and now China is a world of Hello Kitty! SMH.

China use animals in their medicines, so cruel

Animals are way better then people. That's why I hate animal abusers. Animals are so loving.

Native Chinese here, watched Disney's Alice in wonderland on tv at the age of 8, and I found it really funny reading the question as well as some of the comments. Before saying other people are brain washed, maybe it's wise to check the facts at first. Don't let the “fake news” ruin your own judgement.

Don't believe it... one of the most popular novels in Chinese history was Journey to the West which features a talking pig and monkey.

oh dear china sort your heads out

Herlene Tyson, I don't think so, since they constantly boast how ancient their civilisations are, and claim to have discovered/ invented so much we rely on, long before the West. And they are way ahead ad producers of pollution now.

Marona, Not just to eat. They drop live kittens into boiling water, as that makes it easier to rip off the skins for the fur trade. So next time you see fur-lined gloves from China on sale labelled " rabbit-fur" it is more likely from kittens.

Amos, I'm so glad it helped him. A better use than killing it just for food..

David, Well, that's because China has done such a lot to provoke it. Whenever I see "eco-warriors" disrupting our lives with their protests, I suggest they go and try it in China (the world's worst polluter) and see how long they are tolerated there!

Maman Moustique, class dismissed!

Dougall, hear dat !

"This book was banned in China" is NOT correct. The author's wording is too general and not specific, as a result of misleading the readers. To avoid the misunderstanding, it is necessary to verify here. First, 'China' mentioned in the explanation should be 'Republic of China (1912 - 1949) ruled by Kuomingdang Chisng Kai-shek', which is NOT the same as 'People's Republic of China' (1949 - ) by Communist Party. Secondly, the book was NOT banned in all provinces at that time. Instead, it was only once banned in Hunan province in 1939 by then-governor who claimed that "it was catastrophic when the talking animals were placed on the same level of human". It was ridiculous, because this guy forgot that talking animals have been in the ancient Chinese literatures (fables, novels, poems) during thousand years of Chinese history. Thirdly, to be fair, the author should also specify the names of other countries, besides showing 'China'. Finally, according to my grandmother (b.1930) in Shanghai who can speak English, the book in English was one of her favourites in her childhood. This book has been on the book shelf in our family from grandparents' generation to my 17yr daughter now.

shonny, don't forget the Indominus Rex

Maybe China knew it was a story about Alice getting high, tripping on mushrooms. LOL

Player #3578978, No it is a product of Japan. First one came out in 1974. Company is Sanrio.

China is VERY uneducated upon the Animal Species smh!!!

Player #7263237, I, too, believe that before we critique anyone's culture, one must do some research. I apologize for any offensive comments.

China is not very high on list on respecting human civil rights, let alone about caring for animals

As the question stated, it "was" banned, not anymore. So does many movies in different countries. But the reason Alice was banned in China wasn't because talking animals

more likely the drug depictions than animals talking

Player Anca , no way animals are above humans. you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I'm not sure the reasoning explanation is sound for this question. I believe it is more about the questioning of authority

Amos, didn't goofy wonder when he went to his friends Mickys house why there a member of his own species tied up and naked it the backyard

Player Anca , actually chimps do band together to attack and kill other chimps groups

Player Anca , actually animals for ex. Monkeys do have wars. Dolphins Form Gangs and rape female Dolphins

Player Anca , i couldn’t agree more with you :)

Player #15356356, come play with my Pit Bull

Player #3308840, they are also a food source for China:((

Player #7263237, apparently only in Hunan, China in 1931

The sinophobia in so many of the comments is disturbing (and sad).

pressed wrong answer because of watching 📺, hehehe

Player Anca , they also don't kill other than for survival, unlike some humans.

Player #3308840, They also eat domestic animals! Unbelievable, no accounting for indecency

Player Anca , do you mean animals are more important than humans?

Player #3578978, ummm…Hello Kitty is of Japanese origin…🧐

Player #45303196, Did Pluto speak though? Why was Goofy an anthropomorphized character that spoke, wore clothing and walked upright, while Pluto ran around bare, on all 4 paws… aren’t they both dogs???
