China is banning artist that "threaten national sovereignty."

The Chinese government is on red alert on foreign artists and performers that will engaged in activities deemed to "threaten national sovereignty."

China's Ministry of Culture’s website issued a statement that they will ban any performance that might threaten national unity, stir ethnic hatred or violate Beijing's strict policy on state-approved religions and "cultural norms."

Heavy government critics like Sharon Stone and Steven Spielberg are surely included in the said ban.

Another artist is Bjork and her performance incident last March in which she yelled, "Tibet, Tibet, Tibet" after performing her song "Declare Independence".

The said ban will be one of their security measure against threats from unruly crowds and potential protesters.
