‘Top Gun: Maverick’ could be banned in China over Taiwan patch

Top Gun: Maverick is still yet to get a release date in China, and the flag was initially removed after the movie’s trailer debut in 2019 - as they don't recognise Taiwan as an independent country.

Spiderman and Doctor Strange have also been ousted by the Chinese film industry, and experts say the bans could be because the films are so pro-American, and it's not the message they want to send out.
