Icelandic singer Bjork angered Chinese officials last weekend when she shouted "Tibet! Tibet!" at a Shanghai concert.
Bjork chanted the name of the Chinese-ruled Himalayan region after performing her song "Declare Independence," which she has used in the past to promote independence movements in other places such as Kosovo.
The performance "not only broke Chinese laws and regulations and hurt the feelings of Chinese people, but also went against the professional code of an artist," the ministry said in a statement quoted by the official Xinhua news agency.
You have to figure that will make it tougher on all foreign acts that play China venues now.
The Chinese are going to get tired of Debbie and Pat Boone.
