Episode Details

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, along with other major institutions like the British Museum and Tate, have been forced to comply with Chinese censorship rules by removing sensitive content from their exhibition catalogues. Printers in China, offering lower costs, have been enforcing Beijings censorship, leading to the deletion of historic maps and images, such as a nineteen thirties map of British Empire trade routes and a photo of Lenin. Despite the frustration and stress caused by these changes, museums have been making minor tweaks to keep their catalogues moving. This situation highlights how cost-saving choices can allow foreign censors to shape UK cultural stories.
