“#China bans live Oscars broadcasts over Hong Kong documentary<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

China ordered local media<\/a> to cancel live broadcasts of next month\u2019s Oscars ceremony and to play down coverage of the event after a documentary on the Hong Kong protests was nominated for an award, according to a new report. <\/p>\n

The Communist Party\u2019s propaganda department issued the order to all media outlets, Bloomberg reported<\/a>, citing anonymous sources. Outlets were told that coverage of the 93rd Academy Awards, which will air April 25, should focus on awards that aren\u2019t seen as controversial.<\/p>\n

The order was also reported by other media including Radio Free Asia and Hong Kong\u2019s App<\/a>le Daily late Tuesday. The information office of China\u2019s State Council didn\u2019t respond to requests seeking comment.<\/p>\n

At the center of the mandate is \u201cDo Not Split,\u201d a film nominated for best short documentary, which chronicles the anti-Beijing demonstrations that took place in Hong Kong in mid-2019, as well as China\u2019s growing power and influence in the former British territory.<\/p>\n

Directed by Norwegian video journalist Anders Hammer, the film has hardly been covered in China, which keeps an iron grip on local and social-media platforms within the country. Censorship orders are routinely issued by the government, which also vets social media posts.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years, at least two Chinese streaming services, at least two Chinese streaming platforms \u2014 1905.com and Mango TV \u2014 showed the Oscars ceremony live.<\/p>\n

The platform 1905.com is run by a subsidiary of state broadcaster China Central Television, known as CCTV, according to its website<\/a>. The platforms could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

Tensions have been high between the US and China, particularly during the Trump administration, which blamed the country for its handling of the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Hollywood, too, has had recent challenges with China, which is now the world\u2019s largest movie market.<\/p>\n

Disney thought it had a blockbuster with its live-action remake of Chinese folk tale \u201cMulan\u201d last year, but the movie was criticized locally for its portrayal of Chinese culture and in the West for filming in the Xinjiang region, where the government is accused of oppressing the Uyghur minority group.<\/p>\n

\u201cMonster Hunter,\u201d directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and backed by Sony, was also pulled from some cinemas in China in December after a racist line of dialogue ignited social media backlash.<\/p>\n

The movie\u2019s co-producer apologized and edited out the line, which featured Chinese-American actor Jin Au-Yeung \u2014 better known as MC Jin \u2014 as a soldier talking to a comrade as they drive across a desert. Jin points to his legs and says, \u201cWhat kind of knees are these? Chinese.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
