Bangkok Film Festival Resists Alleged Pressure Over Taiwan Logo

Organisers of a Taiwan-themed film festival in Bangkok said people representing the Chinese Embassy pressured its host cinemas to remove Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture logo from promotional materials. The requests allegedly included phone calls and an in-person visit on July 20 and 21, with festival director Thida Philtpolkarnpim saying one caller became threatening after she refused. The logo remained in place, Taiwan’s representative office was informed and the festival opened without further disruption, while the Chinese Embassy had not publicly responded. The article connects the episode with previous reports of pressure involving a Bangkok art exhibition, protest photographs in Thai newsrooms and a documentary screening. The dispute also occurred as Thailand reaffirmed an expanded version of its one-China policy, prompting criticism from Taiwan and questions about possible effects on reciprocal visa-free travel.
