Jasmine
Relax, China did not put a ban on the famous Disney princess Jasmine from the classic animated movie ‘Aladdin’, that would make no sense. They in fact actually put a ban on something even more random, the jasmine plant. That’s right, you can not buy or talk about this plant anywhere in China.
Just when you thought that plants were safe, think again because this government is not afraid to ban anything they see as a threat. Inside Tunisia, that country had a political revolution named the ‘jasmine revolution. Paranoid that it might happen in China, the officials banned the plant and any mention of the word.
