During the Chinese campaign of the 2003 video game Command & Conquer: Generals, the bridge was intentionally bombed by a fictional terrrorist group called the Global Liberation Army (GLA) as Chinese Troops cross the bridge. With only few troops left, the player is ordered to build a small base and destroy the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre after it falls under the control of GLA and to eliminate further terrorist threats. The game series was banned in China because of the ordered destruction of HKCEC, the Three Gorges Dam, and terrorism at the Tsing Ma Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“I am glad of this war. It kicks the pasteboard bottom in of the usual “good” popular novel. People have felt much more deeply and strongly these last few months.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
