    What ! the World War Z virus was from China in the book?
    What a sensitive and insecure government

    say what you want about the Russians, they like it when we make them the bad guys like in Rocky 4 or any movie from the 80s

    They’ve been doing this for a while but it doesn’t make it right. What people do in the name of money...they’ll betray family and country for just a sliver more.

    Replace "Hollywood" with "any capitalistic origination that wants to maximize growth and use the Chinese market for that purpose".

    This is really new news and has been going on for awhile.

    Side story: When I was in HK a few years ago I went to go see Ironman III expecting to see the scenes they added just for the PRC market. Instead they showed the US version. My dad said it was because of the "One country Two systems" arrangement where HK would show US versions of movies.

    So if the Russians and Chinese are our enemies

    Why are the Chinese so insecure ?

    Rambo takes down the entire Russian army but if Rambo took down China that would cause international outrage
    It’s like the Russians don’t get easily offended by movies or tweets from NBA GMs

    even Ricky Tan wasn’t the main bad guy in rush hour 2
    They made it some old white British guy

    Can you ask your dad about the muppets ?
    Cause being insecure and offended by Kermit the Frog indicates that Americans are softer than marshmallows

    At least China doesn’t ban the muppets, dr Seus, Yosemite Sam, and gone with the wind

    They are insecure but at least they are not soft as whip cream like the idiots in Hollywood now

    China has 2 billion people and a growing middle class the likes of post ww2 America.

    Of course Studios are going to tailor films that will sell in China. They tailor films to sell to New Yorkers and Los Angelenos.

    It's the wonders of capitalism. I don't know why people are so offended by capitalism. It allows for great things like Elon the savior.

    Right @tinman ?

    Still doesn’t answer why the Russians don’t care if we make them the bad guy in every movie

    maybe because they understand it’s just entertainment

    And Drago would have won in real life

    Russia isn't a global superpower like China is. Russia doesn't consume American products like China does.
