Mainland movie industry skips Taiwan film festival as cross-Straits ties worsen

By Zhang Yi | China Daily | Updated: 2019-08-08 07:56

China's film regulator has suspended participation of mainland movies and personnel in the 56th Golden Horse Film Festival in Taipei in November amid rising tensions across the Taiwan Straits.

China Film News, a magazine published by the China Film Administration, reported the news on Wednesday without giving any reason for the suspension.

Chen Xing, a Taiwan studies professor at Beijing Union University, said the move was due not only to "Taiwan independence" remarks during last year's award ceremony at the festival, but also to the recent worsening of cross-Straits relations.
