It seems that no movie star is too big for Chinese media authorities to remove from their billboards, especially if they speak up for something that the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t approve of.
The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has allegedly removed all ads that feature Hong Kong mega movie stars Andy Lau or Chow Yun-fat because the duo spoke up in support of the Hong Kong Occupy Central demonstration, according to Radio France Internationale.
Earlier, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Anthony Wong, and Nick Cheung public declared their support for the Umbrella Movement after police used tear gas on the peaceful protesters.
