In Popular Culture
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.
