What did Ludwig say in his video?

Ludwig started talking about this controversy and also brought a previous incident where he had forgotten to pay his taxes and was charged with tax evasion. The streamer then brought up the dubious case of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai in which she accused a senior member of the government of sexual assault back in November and subsequently disappeared. She reappeared in December stating that her previous claims were false

Maybe due the Nature of the content of the video Ludwig thought that he would be banned from China, but this is highly unlikely as YouTube is completely blocked in China and he will have no audience there to watch his videos there.
