Movies banned in China

Wikimedia list article

The People's Republic of China (PRC) bans a lot of movies for many reasons. China Film Administration (国家电影局) decides for mainland China.[1][2] Hong Kong and Macau have different political systems so the bans below do not apply. Taiwan, which is known as the Republic of China by those countries that recognize her, is not under the control and jurisdiction of the PRC.

Baidu Baike's article of Matthew O'Neill is "...出生于美国的男演员，主要作品《The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders》".[3] The article of 我毕业了 is 小吕演唱的歌曲, but there is no factual statement about how famous is the singer or popular is the song.[4] The article of South Park is 天津市的餐馆 (a restaurant in Tianjin). The Chinese name of such business is unknown, and the address is 天津和平区河北路330号(睦南道口).[5]

The 3-tier system

change
 

Tong Ying Kit was punished in July 2021 for using a controversial slogan, may or may not be relevant.

Inside the Red Brick Wall (理大圍城) was approved by Hong Kong censor - Derek Lee (李統殷) in September 2021. [66] As of late 2024, Mr Lee appears to be working at another government department.[67] This is a "category III" movie, so it cannot be shown to people under 18 years old.[68]

In November 2021, the law on censorship was changed.[69] It is not clear whether Revolution of Our Times (時代革命) (by Kiwi Chow) is allowed or banned.[70] Chow's movie's name is the later half of the Tong's slogan (liberate Hong Kong; revolution of our times) without former half, without the words of "liberate Hong Kong".[71]
