HONG KONG—Hong Kong’s legislature passed a new film censorship law on Wednesday to “safeguard national security,” though critics say it will dampen creativity in its world-famous movie industry and further reduce freedoms in the former British colony.
The Chinese communist regime imposed a sweeping “national security law” over its most restive city last year, and Hong Kong’s legislature has no opposition lawmakers left after mass resignations from the pro-democracy camp in protest against the ousting of some colleagues.
