Warner Bros. Discovery’s production of videos in partnership with Chinese state media to whitewash the Uyghur genocide has inspired a bill to bar the Pentagon from working with entertainment companies that collaborate with Beijing’s propaganda organs.
Representative Jim Banks (R., Ind.) proposed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual defense-policy bill, that would block Pentagon funds from going to partnerships any company engaged in cooperation with Chinese propaganda organs. In practice, this would block the Defense Department from lending studios military equipment and vehicles for use in films and television shows.
