Keanu Reeves films removed from Chinese streaming platforms

Keanu Reeves's films have faced removal from major Chinese streaming platforms following his participation in a virtual charity concert for Tibet House US in March 2022. The organization, founded in 1987 at the request of the Dalai Lama, focuses on preserving Tibetan culture.

The removal of titles from major franchises, including ‘Matrix’ and ‘John Wick’, has drawn criticism from Chinese nationalists due to the politically sensitive nature of Tibet. This censorship follows a pattern where Western celebrities, such as Brad Pitt, Selena Gomez, and Lady Gaga, have faced repercussions in the Chinese market for associations with the Dalai Lama or Tibetan causes.
