A leaked document from China’s censorship authority for mass media reveals the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party controls and dictates how content is produced.
The document, posted on the popular Weibo social media platform and published on several Chinese news portals, was issued by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT). It explains the agency’s internal rules on what subject matters are or aren’t appropriate for film and television.
