Kanye West made a surprising return to China on Sunday, performing in Haikou for the first time in 16 years. The show, held on Hainan Island, caught the world off guard, given China’s strict regulations on foreign artists and the fact that West is known for his unpredictable rants on stage and his controversial stances.

The American rapper's unexpected China concert boosted local spending, which the government desperately needs but has struggled to do.
