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:
“The popular colleges of the United States are turning out more educated people with less originality and fewer geniuses than any other country.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
