LOS ANGELES — The threat of Hollywood studios censoring movies to appease the Chinese Communist Party has long been a bipartisan talking point for U.S. lawmakers, including Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis.
Last week, Gallagher, chairman of the House Select Committee on China, took a tour of California, where he met with business leaders including Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger and Apple's Tim Cook to discuss their business with China.
Those meetings — which also included talks with movie producers and filmmakers who've worked in or with China — did little to assuage Gallagher's worries, he told The Times in a Monday interview.
