China Propaganda Tour
On November 9, 2025, Hasan flew to China for what would become a widely criticized propaganda tour. Throughout his visit, he provided uncritical praise for China's political system, all the while downplaying the country's authoritarian practices and human rights abuses. During the tour, Hasan also performed several interviews and propaganda pieces ranging from interviews with state run Media to tours of traditional Chinese Medicine "hospitals".
CCP Handlers
Throughout the trip, Hasan alluded several times to "handlers" who guided Hasan to various areas of China for him to cover on camera, along with his State Sponsored guide who would provide a "history"/intro to the area.
Tiananmen Square Incident
On November 10, 2025, Hasan was detained and questioned by local authorities in Tiananmen Square for having a meme of his face on Mao Zedong.
Following the incident, Hasan defended the police officer who accosted him, arguing that the officer was justified in racially profiling and questioning him. He claimed the officer was simply ensuring that no foreigners influenced by "American propaganda" would cause disruptions in Tiananmen Square (e.g., mocking Mao Zedong). In his defense of the cop, Hasan would go on to state that "the further west you go, the worse cops get."

Hasan Piker interview with CGTN
On November 18, 2025, Hasan sat down with CGTN correspondent Li Jingjing in Beijing to discuss his China trip. CGTN is a state-run news network funded by the Chinese government. The overall goal of the interview was to allow CGTN to use Hasan as a "Western Validation vector".

Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Visit
On November 16, 2025 Hasan, while streaming on Bilibili with a Chinese filming crew, visited and toured a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
The hospital had banners and signs specifically welcoming Hasan and the "doctor" conducting the tour had three cameras filming the segment. The entire visit revolved around pseudoscientific demonstrations, including chiropractic-style manipulations (that Hasan appeared deeply discomforted by), and even a choreographed dance routine performed by hospital staff.
Given how aggressively the Chinese Communist Party has been promoting traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, this particular segment of Hasan's propaganda tour stands out as one of the clearest examples of Hasan directly participating in CCP aligned propaganda.

Criticism of Tour
Hasan's propaganda tour was widely criticized online, with many individuals expressing concern that he was acting as a useful idiot for a regime openly committing atrocities. His uncritical praise of China's political system and repeated defenses of authoritarian practices throughout the trip brought forth much speculation about how willing he is to overlook human-rights abuses when they fit his broader anti-Western narrative.
