BEIJING - Chinese authorities fined a comedy company millions of yuan on Wednesday and threatened further legal action after one of its members made an oblique joke about the People’s Liberation Army during a stand-up act.

Beijing’s Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau said on Wednesday it had investigated Mr Li’s agency after a report from a member of the public and found the joke had broken the law and “caused a bad social impact”. “After the performance that day, we immediately criticised House seriously, asked him to reflect on himself, and stopped all his subsequent acting work indefinitely,” a Xiaoguo statement posted on Monday said.
