Dude, one of the major things china pulled off was a bait and switch with Hollywood. It’s a similar scam to what they pull in other industries.. they’re like “oh well, we can grant you access to our market if you change a couple things so its not too disruptive to us.”
This is one of the ways you can tell shitbag Republicans, btw. They follow the carrot on the stick just as blindly as Democrats.
So we go ahead and poz the shit out of our products to cater to the Chinese market, but whoops! The goalposts moved, it can’t be distributed in China.
One of the last gasps of this was the fucking Shang Chi marvel movie, specifically made to kiss china’s ass, not being allowed to play in Chinese theaters.
I’m pretty sure that Kathleen Kennedy was supposed to make Star Wars self critical of the US, right? So what point would there be to that if you’re just lighting billions of dollars on fire by being so overt?
My theory is some chicom played them
2013, huh?
