DreamWorks’ animated film “Abominable” was banned for the same reason in 2019 and Sony’s “Unchartered” suffered the same fate last year. Exhibitor CGV was fined for showing “Abominable,” and staff at the Vietnam Cinema Department were disciplined for not immediately spotting the offending images. The film was pulled after just over a week in cinemas.

how is this a thing that has now happened three times

it is proper and right to thwart the latest Trojan horse of American decadence, a film to celebrate and sell more of a child's doll that is made of about a quart of petroleum and is designed to produce consumers for American enterprises.

This has to be a made up bit to promote the movie.

I expect the Vietnamese spokeswoman come up tomorrow and clarify no actually we ban Barbie for being a consumerism slop fake movie.

quote:

Hong Kong has issued arrest warrants for eight exiled activists and lawyers, accusing them of violating China's national security law — and offering a hefty bounty for their capture.

Among the eight people Hong Kong's national security police say are wanted for "collusion with foreign forces" are activist and former legislator Nathan Law, now in exile in the U.K.; former lawmaker Ted Hui and legal scholar Kevin Yam, both in Australia; and Anna Kwok, the director of a pro-Hong Kong advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.

"They have committed very serious offenses that endanger national security," Li said, adding that the government is offering 1 million Hong Kong dollars (about $130,000) each for information leading to their arrests.

When I moved into my current apartment my landlord told me a story about how his father fled the purges in China to become a landlord in America. It was clear from his tone it was supposed to be an inspirational rags to riches story. He also made sure to tell me he was a Christian.
