Eyeing global domination, 'Star Wars' opens big in China

Great. Here come the cam copies!

Do they get an "amended" version?

in 1977, the country was just emerging from its turbulent Cultural Revolution, with Western movies banned

And as recent as 2010, AVATAR war banned. Wonder how Beijing will "amend" this storyline. . . . And some people say the Chinese are not communist. Sheesh-

The Lu Han song is not too bad if you're into that kinda thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuwNfB0Q6EA

And some people say the Chinese are not communist. Sheesh-

They're not. They're allowing a private corporation to make money by selling movies in Chinese theaters (The above article is Exhibit A). Maybe you should know what the meaning of "communism" is first.

And some people say the Chinese are not communist.

Ignoring the fact that you're berating the Chinese for doing something it doesn't appear they've done, and along with what the pbot said, I don't think that word means what you think it does.

The chinese government has tight reins on media, internet and foreign movies. They do this to avoid potential subversion of its authority. A movie titled "The Force Awakens" wouldn't have flown very well back in '89 when the students occupied Tiannamen Square.

Why are you showing me a link for the banning of avatar when you were berating them for censoring Star Wars - something they don't appear to have done.

My bad. Glancing at ur last post, thot u were saying movies aren't banned. Maybe the chinese will let this ride since the people have no nostalgic connection to the original series and "the force."
