The last time the Rolling Stones played China, they had to do it without songs deemed offensive by government censors -- and it happened again when the band returned on March 12.

NME reports that the Stones set at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai found them once again going without songs such as 'Brown Sugar,' 'Honky Tonk Women,' and 'Let's Spend The Night Together,' all of which were banned during their previous visit. According to the article, singer Mick Jagger specifically referenced 'Honky Tonk Women' as having been "vetoed" by the censors.

The band compensated by inserting 'Dead Flowers' into the show for the first time on their current tour and turning to social media followers for a second song, which turned out to be 'Street Fighting Man.' The article notes that Jagger greeted the crowd in "basic Mandarin," while guitarist Ronnie Wood "wore a red T-shirt with a horse on it in reference to the current Chinese Year of the Horse."
