Prohibiting Federal Funding for Films Altered for Chinese Censorship

This act aims to prevent the use of federal funds for the production of films by U.S. companies that alter political content to comply with Chinese censorship requirements. This means that companies seeking U.S. government support will not be able to censor their productions or collaborate with Chinese entities that impose such conditions. The goal is to protect freedom of expression in American film productions.
Key points
U.S. film companies will not receive federal support if they alter the political content of their films at the request of Chinese authorities.
The act requires companies to disclose which of their productions have been evaluated by Chinese officials for distribution in China.
Co-producing films with Chinese entities that impose political content conditions is prohibited.
