Chinese Game of Throne fans resigned to final season censorship


Forget winter, the censors are coming for HBO's Game Of Thrones in China.

Winter is coming for fans of the hit television series Game Of Thrones, with the final season set to hit screens around the world after a near two-year hiatus, but those watching inside China are also bracing for the chill of censorship.

Despite being name-dropped by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang last week before travelling to Dubrovnik – one of the show’s filming locations – the final instalment of the fantasy drama known for its explicit scenes of sex and violence is unlikely to be seen in its entirety in the Middle Kingdom.
