An episode of 'The Simpsons' that includes a line about 'forced labor camps' in mainland China has been pulled from Disney's streaming platform in Hong Kong.

An episode of “The Simpsons” that includes a line about “forced labor camps” in mainland China has been pulled from Disney’s streaming platform in Hong Kong.
