A Chinese man on Taiwanese bus tour complains about a negative portrayal of Mao Tse-Tung being shown in a BBC documentary. Upon hearing this, the Chinese Communist Party proceeds to lay down the law:
...the Chinese travel agency organizing the tour demanded that the Taiwanese travel agency stop showing anti-Communist documentaries on tour buses carrying Chinese tourists, ... [and] it also demanded that Taiwanese guides refrain from expressing points of view different from their Chinese clients. [emphasis added]
Fortunately, the Taiwanese Tourist Bureau told the CCP to get bent. Whether it would respond similarly under a Hung Hsiu-chu administration however, is a question we will fortunately never have the misfortune of ever having to answer.
