A new report has found that the Chinese government’s influence on Hollywood is posing a serious threat to free expression.
In June, Richard Gere appeared before the US Senate to warn about the dangers of letting China control content.
The report recommends that “Hollywood studios commit to publicly sharing information on all censorship requests received by government regulators for their films”.
The release of the report comes after the US government has openly criticised Hollywood for kowtowing to Chinese intervention, also blaming the studios for pre-emptively censoring or canning potentially difficult projects.
