Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei faced backlash and exhibition cancellations after making controversial social media comments about Israel and Jewish 'media influences.' London's Lisson Gallery indefinitely postponed his exhibition due to apparently antisemitic remarks. Similarly, Chinese authorities banned artist and film director Guo Zhenming from traveling to Singapore for a documentary premiere. Additionally, Hong Kong's rejection of a visa renewal for scholar Rowena He reflects growing restrictions on academic institutions in the city.
