## Caption

Hollywood has a China problem. 

SCSP’s Channing Lee explains how the global film industry is deeply entangled in geopolitics, whether they want to be or not. To maintain access to 1.4 billion viewers, American studios are allowing the Chinese Communist Party to influence what you see on screen.

The censorship playbook:
🔹 Red Dawn: Antagonists digitally changed from Chinese to North Korean.
🔹 World War Z: References to the pandemic's origin were scrubbed.
🔹 Top Gun Maverick: The Taiwan flag was removed from Maverick’s flight jacket for the Chinese market.

This economic pressure is why one of the most significant potential conflicts in the world, Taiwan, remains invisible in mainstream cinema.
