BEIJING - Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has been barred from performing in China due to what officials call past instances of "Bad behaviour."

In a statement posted on its website on Tuesday, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture said that while the 23-year-old is a gifted singer, "He is also a controversial young foreign singer."

The statement was apparently posted in reply to a fan who asked why Bieber wasn't allowed to perform in China.

We hope that as Justin Bieber matures, he can continue to improve his own words and actions, and truly become a singer beloved by the public.

The statement did not provide any details of Bieber's "Behaviour," but the singer has been embroiled in a few controversies in recent years, including an egg-throwing incident in Los Angeles in 2015 and allegations of assault in in Toronto in 2013.
