Although Netflix is not available in China, pirate copies of 3 Body season one is available. Also many Chinese use VPN in order to access internet services not allowed in China.
The Chinese people might have a problem getting the Netflix series but there is no problem with getting the books. The books are not banned in China. The author, Liu Cixin is a communist party member, who like many communist are not proud of the actions of the Red Guard attempting to remove all vestiges of what was deemed 'Un-Communist". Like many countries there are some things in their history they prefer to forget and the first episode of 3 Body Problem is one of them.
So the western version is banned in China then.
