Oh I see. Why do they allow Disney movies then? Oh, BTW looking into the true story of The Eight Hundred, I'm surprised they even filmed that movie. Because it's a story about the Republic of China.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 13 hours ago, Charlie Jatinder said: That's ironical considering how they tried to save it from Hollywood with all those limitations on release, etc. Those limitations on foreign releases (as well as banning foreign TV channels, streaming sites, googles) are never to protect local films to begin with, but to prevent common Chinese people from limitless foreign content. Like censorship, deep down it's a way of controling people's minds, brainwashing them. 13 hours ago, Premium George said: Gavin do you live in china? Honestly I am scared for you due to news stories I have heard about internet censorship in china. Maybe they were exaggeration. 😌 Nothing is exaggerated ... anyone of us could be arrested for 'unappropriate' comments on the internet or 'illegally' accessing foreign websites. We are taking our chances. 13 hours ago, Sunny Max said: You Know better than All of us ... but i want to clear on thing ... China's Economy is not that bad .. 2019 Stats :- GDP (Purchasing power) :- $27.33 Trillion 1st Position in the World .. GDP (Nominal) :- $14.37 Trillion 2nd Position in the World Just Behind From USA Per Capital :- $10,153 Data sometimes could be misleading. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope China gets rid of it and let their film industry grow if they want to overtake the US film market and increase soft power. will never happen. Box office does not mean everthing. China sellls more cars evey year than any other country. That does not give China the strongest auto industry. 3 hours ago, cannastop said: Why is China cancelling two Chinese movies but allowing The Lion King to be released in Summer? TLK is harmless. no reason to not allow it to be released, especially when something needs to fill the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as the trade war accelerates, more US companies could be in danger of being banned in China. Look at FedEx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, maybe without censorship there could be interest in Chinese movies from outside China. Yes, without censorship, China could possibly, eventually, develop some kind of pop culture like Japanese manga, Korea pop, English novels/music, Hollywood films. But CCP requires censorship, like a finish requires water. And censorship kills creativity and free expression. So as long as CCP exists, it is 100% impossible for China to have any kind of strong softpower or culture industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can just google “X RMB to USD” and it’ll do the conversion. Or “X yuan to dollars.” Works for basically any currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
