CHYNA frothingfash

Feels like back in the 90’s people were a bit more chill and didn’t go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

      A lot of Hollywood studios do consult with China to ensure their films will be allowed to be shown there, and thus give them access to the largest market in the world.

      All in the name of American capitalism, but it’s not really a myth.

        What is a myth is usually “they removed X because of Chinese censors” - the truth is Chinese censors don’t really have a definitive list of things they don’t like, it’s more of a vibe, and Western companies tend to overcorrect while Chinese artists know where the line is and how to toe it.
