Youtube, Kjellberg's main channel where he has more than 100 million subscribers, is blocked as a whole by Chinese censorship, but Kjellberg says that now you also do not get any hits if you search forums or "Youtube-related" videos in the country.

Kjellberg has commented and driven on current events such as the NBA basketball conflict and the suspension of a "Heartstone" player who hailed the protests in Hong Kong.

- China is like that person on Twitter who can't take any criticism but just blocks everyone, says Pewdiepie in the clip.

Some users on the Reddit forum confirm the Swedish claim, while others have pointed out that it is still possible to get hits on the Swedish name on the Chinese search engine Baidu.
