Chinese performers were notable by their absence from the “One World: Together at Home” cross-platform event broadcast on Sunday to raise money to help fight Covid-19.

Organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the charity Global Citizen in collaboration with Lady Gaga, the eight-hour show featured more than 70 singers and celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, the Rolling Stones, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Elton John, Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift and Korean pop group SuperM.
