Bill Maher Calls China the ‘New Islam,’ Says Left ‘Can’t Be Honest About Them Because They’re Not White’
Bill Maher called China the “new Islam” and accused the left of not being “honest” about their threat “because they’re not white.”
During a panel discussion on Friday’s Real Time , Maher brought up China’s advancements in AI, noting the China startup DeepSeek has emerged as a major rival to US companies recently. The comedian compared the race between the United States and China on the technology front to the space race between the US and Russia.
He said:
“Sputnik is at the beginning of the space race in the late 50s. There were Russians. We thought we were going to beat them to the moon. And Russians put up some satellite. I forget what it was. It was Sputnik. Sputnik one. And then suddenly we were like, fuck, they could beat us. And now we are doing this. We are at that moment. That’s why they’re calling it a Sputnik moment with AI. We thought we were way ahead of China.”
Maher also noted former FBI Director Christopher Wray has recently warned of cyberattacks by China on critical US infrastructure.
Maher called China “kind of an evil empire” and said liberals are unwilling to treat them as such being they “make everything about race.”
“I mean, we couldn’t look into the origins of COVID being from the lab, which now the CIA, this week, has joined the FBI and many other organizations saying it probably did come from a lab. I said it from the beginning. It’s being studied in this lab where it breaks out. Really? We’re gonna even wonder about this?” he said, going on to cite a New York Times reporter calling Covid lab leak theories potentially racist and not plausible.
Maher declared China is “the new Islam” in that people are too hesitant to criticize out of fear for how they’ll be perceived.
“China’s like the new Islam. We can’t be honest about them because they’re not white,” he said. “And China, okay, I’m sorry, kids, they do some bad things, China. And we should just recognize that.”

In a recent episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the outspoken comedian and political commentator Bill Maher made controversial remarks about China, comparing the country to Islam and criticizing the left for not being honest about the country due to its non-white status.
During the segment, Maher discussed the Chinese government’s crackdown on democracy activists in Hong Kong and their treatment of the Uighur Muslim minority in Xinjiang. He referred to China as the “new Islam,” suggesting that the country’s authoritarian regime and human rights abuses were being overlooked by the left because they are not white.
Maher’s comments sparked backlash from some viewers and social media users, with many accusing him of perpetuating racist stereotypes and oversimplifying complex geopolitical issues. Others defended Maher, arguing that he was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the left in their criticism of certain countries over others.
Regardless of one’s stance on Maher’s remarks, it is clear that his comments have once again stirred up debate and controversy, highlighting the complexities of navigating political discourse in an increasingly polarized world.
