A study from Pen America warns of the long-term effects of studios censoring content to appease the Chinese government
A new report has found that the Chinese government’s influence on
Hollywood is posing a serious threat to free expression.
The 94-page study, from the literary and
Human Rights group Pen America, details the many ways that studios and film-makers continue to change “cast, plot, dialogue and settings” in an “effort to avoid antagonising Chinese officials” in films including Iron Man 3, World War Z and the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.
