Chinese Media Censors "Republic of China" on New Taiwan Passport

When reporting the news about Taiwan's new passport design, a Chinese media, GuanCha, on Sept 2, 2020 pixelated the Chinese words "REPUBLIC OF CHINA" and the Taiwan's national emblem on the new cover, with only the English words "TAIWAN" and "PASSPORT" shown.

Such way of reporting has given rise to heated debate among netizens in both Taiwan and China.

China's Website Forbids Poor Rating and Comment for Publication Related to #NationalSecurityLaw

The Chinese Communist Party Government released a publication concerning the National Security Law in Hong Kong. The publication has been listed on #Douban, a Chinese website that allows users to post reviews and comments, but has received very poor ratings (one out of five stars) since then.

Chinese netizens revealed that whenever a user gives low rating to the publication, their account would be disabled without explanation. More recently, the website went further to remove the rating and comment functions for the publication.

The full title of the said publication released by the Chinese Government is “Decision of the National People's Congress of the HKSAR on the Protection of National Security Law on the establishment and improvement of the legal system and enforcement mechanism for the protection of national security in the Hong Kong SAR.”

Ending of Fight Club Restored in China

#FightClub, a 1999-film directed by #DavidFincher and starred by #BradPitt and #EdwardNorton, was streamed by #TencentVideo in China but with a very different ending. The change of ending to satisfy Chinese censorship has created backlash from film fans around the world.

Finally, the Chinese streaming platform restored the original ending to the film, instead of telling the viewers that the police had "rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals."
