[Nationality limit]: China’s National Radio and Television Administration strengthens surveillance on non-Chinese actors. Liu Yifei, Gong Li and Jet Li are not Chinese Nationals.
In order to strengthen surveillance of the film and TV industry, the National Radio and TV Administration (NRTA) has previously implemented a “Historical drama limit”, “Salary limit” and “Korean drama limit”, etc. Although China’s economy has taken a hit due to Wuhan pneumonia, it has recently been reported that NRTA is introducing another restriction - “Nationality limit”. Other than banning inferior artists, artists of foreign nationality, or HK, Macau and Taiwan artists who performed misconducts or inappropriate speeches are to be banned. Many artists of foreign nationality who have returned to China may be affected. Mulan star Liu Yifei, Gong Li and many others are not Chinese nationals.
“Nationality limit” states that the “improper use of foreigners” means if there aren’t any particularly bad behaviors, the actor’s work will not be affected. However, the definition of “improper” depends on the authority’s decision. This restriction is believed to be targeted towards “unpatriotic” HK and Taiwanese actors, in addition to foreign actors.
Upon hearing the news, Mainland actress Ning Jing, who moved to the States after getting married to an American, immediately posted on Weibo that she is born and raised in China, and China is her only motherland. Yet she didn’t mention anything about living in America for so many years. The screenwriter of patriotic movie “Wolf Warrior”, Dong Qun, posted on Weibo to show his strong support for the new restriction. He even said that the restriction should extend to CCTV and other channels’ TV hosts, journalists and newspaper editors. He believes that these elites, who are China’s mouthpiece, should educate everyone to be patriotic, and should not try to obtain foreign nationalities. Last year, netizens condemned artists who own foreign passports, but have been earning RMB in China. Liu Yifei, Gong Li and Jet Li were amongst those criticised. Netizens have launched another wave of criticism upon the introduction of the “Nationality limit”.

#China fighter jet intercepts Australian plane - Canberra
// #Australia has accused the pilot of a Chinese fighter jet of carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre near one of its aircraft over the South China Sea.
It says the Chinese aircraft released flares and cut in front of the Australian surveillance plane.
The Chinese jet then released "chaff" - an anti-radar device which includes small pieces of aluminium which entered the Australian plane's engine.
Beijing claims most of the region as its own territory.
But the US, neighbouring countries and others, including Australia, dispute its claim.
In February, Australia accused a Chinese navy ship of shining a military grade laser towards one of its warplanes over the Arafura Sea off northern Australia.
