Matt Glasby's 2023 article for the South China Morning Post is professional journalism, not scholarly analysis. Its strength is that the South China Morning Post is an established regional English-language newspaper, and the piece documents specific, checkable events: China pressuring Disney to shelve the film Kundun, Disney's limited two-theater release and public apology, and the personal China entry ban placed on Martin Scorsese from 1997 until 2012. Its limit is the ordinary one for journalism revisiting a decades-old episode: it is a single reported account rather than an academic study, though its central facts align with contemporaneous reporting from the period it describes.
