TL;DR Summary

Amazon's new series "Expats," set and partly filmed in Hong Kong, is unavailable for streaming in the city, sparking concerns about censorship under Beijing's control. The show, which depicts the lives of American women in Hong Kong and includes scenes of pro-democracy protests in 2014, is blocked in the Chinese territory, likely due to sensitivity over its content. This move reflects the impact of China's national security law and censorship measures on the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, with streaming services also facing restrictions.
