Cathay Pacific Pulls 'Family Guy' Episode Featuring Tiananmen Square Reference

The Hong Kong airline apologized after complaints that the scene could violate the city's National Security Law.

Cathay Pacific removed a 'Family Guy' episode from its in-flight entertainment after a scene referenced the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
The scene depicted the iconic 'Tank Man' image with a satirical twist, prompting complaints on social media about potential violations of Hong Kong's National Security Law.
The airline apologized, stating the content did not reflect its views and blamed a third-party provider for the oversight.
Hong Kong's National Security Law, enacted in 2020, has heightened sensitivities around political content, including references to the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Cathay Pacific has instructed its content provider to strengthen oversight and ensure future programming aligns with its standards.
