It's like in the ancient times, no one shall be named after the emperor. It is forbidden. This year alone, many TV shows and films have been forced to change names. 1 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can not be released in theaters, then they can not be released in any other platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did ban Disney (or at least all of its content) and for years Disney suffered there as a consequence. Many years later and after a long and concerted effort by Disney, relationships began to mend. And thanks to Iger (and his closeness to Xi) in specific, today Disney has perhaps the best relationship of any studio in China.

This forum would explode if that happened lol. Too bad China is so strict with their censorship laws, terrible that they have the power to do stuff like that. Hopefully China doesn’t try and censor Avatar 2, because didn’t the first inspire some civil resistance to the government or something? I’m sure they won’t, but man we’d miss out on such an interesting run. Them banning all foreign films would be catastrophic to box office totals for huge films, I hope that never happens.

Realisticly I think China have ended feudalism since 2000 years ago with the disassembling of Zhou Dynasty. China has been centralism since Emperor Qin Shihuang (234 BC) till today. Centralism is even worse than feudalism. It is much easier to move from feudalism to democracy (like Europe) than from centralism to democracy (look at Iran, China).

China didnt stop importing films by Disney as I remember. Today things will be different, much uglier, if something similar happens though.
