Navigating Risks From Chinese Apps
An investigation report by one of Taiwan’s leading independent media outlets documents the human rights risks posed by app services created in China.

The China Film Administration (國家電影局) was officially established on April 16, 2018, as part of institutional reforms that transferred film regulation from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) to direct control of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department. It is responsible for reviewing and approving all films for release in China, dictating “whether, when, and how a movie gets released.” China’s official Xinhua New Agency reported in 2018 that the restructuring would “strengthen the Party’s overall leadership” in ideological sectors and advance “cultural confidence.”
