CineAsia Canceled as Hong Kong Protests Spark Safety Concerns1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCineAsia, the exhibition and distribution industry conference hosted in Hong Kong every autumn, has cancelled its 9 December to 12 December run owing to ongoing political tensions between China’s southernmost business centre and Beijing.
“Due to the escalating violence and on-going anti-government protesting we felt it was in the best interest of all concerned to cancel the convention. We could not provide safety for our guests and received many comments that companies were concerned about sending their employees to Hong Kong at this time,” Robert Sunshine, chairman of the Film Expo Group, told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
