Movies are now heavily censored in Hong Kong before any showing in the city. Any movies categorized as inciting or provoking others to rebel or oppose the government will be banned.

Recently, the Hong Kong Motion Picture Industry Association (MPIA) urged its members to think twice before participating in Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. MPIA claims that the Golden Horse Awards had become increasingly politicized in the past few years. Many people at the awards ceremony have repeatedly confused politics with films.
