#Netflix removes episodes showing China's arbitrary nine-dash line after #Philippines' Complaints
The Philippine government has ordered Netflix to remove parts of the Australian drama series "#PineGap" on its platform for "violating Philippine #sovereignty".
The series features a map of the #NineDashLine, an invisible demarcation controversially used by China to claim its territories in the #SouthChinaSea.
The second and third episodes of the series were no longer available in the Philippines by November 1, 2021. Netflix announced that those episodes had been "removed by government's demand". It did not elaborate further.
China lays claim to most of the South China Sea waters within the so-called nine-dash line, a U-shaped feature used on Chinese maps. Parts of the resource-rich waters are also contested by the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration handed down a ruling on July 12, 2016, stating that China's historic-rights claim over the maritime areas inside the nine-dash line has no lawful effect. There has also no evidence supporting China's exclusive rights over the waters and resources.

Advocacy Group Campaigns for #Screening Films about Hongkongers' Fight for Democracy on #Netflix
"Fight for Freedom Stand with Hong Kong," a group advocates for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong called for fellow citizens to appeal to Netflix and request the showing of some pro-democracy documenteries and films produced in Hong Kong. These titles include:
- Revolution of Our Times;
- May You Stay Forever Young; and
- Far from Home
All these films chronicled the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, capturing the bravery and extraordinary resilience of youths in the face of brutal repression, and their plea for international help.
Under the #NationalSecurityLaw, it is a safe assumption that these films cannot be officially shown in Hong Kong.
On its Facebook post, the advocacy group cited the Chinese Communist Party's pressure as the key hinderance to distribution of these films.
The group encouraged netizens to make their voices heard through the "Title Request" page of Netflix:

Hong Kong Directors of protest-themed movie win 2021 NETPAC award
The Taiwan Golden Horse Film Festival and Asian Film Promotion Alliance presented this year’s #NETPAC Award to two young directors from Hong Kong, Yum-hap (ä»»äż ) and Lam-sum (林森) on November 24.
Yum and Lam are directors of “May You Stay Forever Young”, a protest-themed movie that took the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong as its backdrop. The movie portrays a group of young people in Hong Kong who gathered voluntarily in a bid to rescue those who attempted to sacrifice themselves for democracy and suicide.
The movie has earlier been shortlisted for the 58th Taiwan #GoldenHorseAwards and is running for the best new director and best editing on Saturday night (November 27).
The production team of “May You Stay Forever Young” was elated to be awarded. Amidst fading freedom in Hong Kong, the team sighed that the movie was first “impossible” to produce and now “impossible” to release.
“Many people have contributed to this movie, but they have to stay nameless and remain in the dark in order to carry on their fight for freedom,” the team added. “The place where this movie is allowed to screen is where freedom stands.”
The production team expressed gratitude to the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (#NETPAC) and they also thanked Taiwan for freedom.
