Disney has removed an episode from The Simpsons in Hong Kong because it called out Chinese “forced labor camps.'.
HONG KONG — Walt Disney Co. has removed an episode from cartoon series The Simpsons that included a reference to “forced labor camps” in China from its streaming service in Hong Kong.
The episode first aired on television in October and it was not clear when the episode was removed from the Hong Kong streaming service. The issue of forced labor is sensitive in China. Communist-ruled Beijing has increasingly imposed its controls over Hong Kong, a former British colony, after taking control of the territory in 1997.
Under the national security law, those found guilty of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign or external forces could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
