It's Taiwan. This video will play in China too as I remember, so.........they have to remove "Taiwan" for politic reasons or they will be wrecked by China government. So does the flag behind Dennis

It's just a joke. If it wasn't, they'd only change the wording in the Chinese version.

I'm pretty sure they just subtitle it. And I'm pretty sure a Chinese person would know Dennis said "Taiwan", even in "English".

Since before Britain let go of ownership of Taiwan, China has claimed Taiwan for its own. Taiwan does not want to be a part of China for obvious reasons. Taiwan acts as it own independent and self governing nation state and even has its own elected President But China refuses to address/acknowledge this and still treats Taiwan as a second class state under China rule.

This is... Entirely wrong.  The British infact never controlled Taiwan.  You're thinking of Hong Kong maybe?  Taiwan is the Chinese island which the democratic Chinese government escaped to in the 1950's and 1960's during the Chinese Civil war where the Communists took over China.  Both nations maintain that they are 'the real china' with Taiwan officially calling it the 'Republic Of China' and Mainland Communist China being 'The Peoples Republic Of China.'  Of course The PRC is the much larger China with a lot more guns so they tend to boss the world around when it comes to how to address what they consider to be a 'Rogue Province' that one day they will stomp into submission.

Wouldn't that like The South escaping to Alaska and claiming it was "The Real USA"?

Taiwan is not really a censored word in China. They're fine to say it.

Dennis managed to rickroll himself and not even know that. That has to be one of the finest moments in LTT history. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Sorry, but the first time I saw that device I wondered whether it was a microphone or a dildo...and then when someone tried to grab it, it bent.

 

So I guess there's no Channel Super Fun in China, because as I recall Dennis wore his flag in the Canada versus the World Office Hockey video.

Maybe that was the reason for the edits this time.

Hands down my favorite (non)series on the channel, right next to the vlogs!
