Films starring Keanu Reeves have been taken down from Chinese domestic streaming platforms like Tencent Video and iQiyi, following his appearance in a concert for Tibet organized by a nonprofit founded by the Dalai Lama. 
Beijing strongly rejects any claims of Tibetan independence and views the Nobel Peace Prize laureate as a dangerous 'separatist.'
According to the LA Times, at least 19 films including 'The Matrix' trilogy, 'Speed,' 'Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,' and more were removed from the Chinese streaming platforms.
'Toy Story 4' is the only film that remains on the streaming platforms, but does not credit Reeves for his role in the animated film.
Any film content related to the actor was still searchable on China’s messaging service, WeChat, but searches for both his English name and its Chinese translation had no results, per Reuters.
