Since 1790, Congress has amended federal copyright law numerous times. Major amendments include:

Copyright Act of 1790 – established U.S. copyright with term of 14 years with 14-year renewal

Copyright Act of 1831 – extended the term to 28 years with 14-year renewal

Copyright Act of 1909 – extended term to 28 years with 28-year renewal

Disney-Bono Copyright Act of 1976 – extended term to either 75 years or the life of the author plus 50 years

(prior to this, “[t]he interim renewal acts of 1962 through 1974 ensured that the copyright in any work in its second term as of September 19, 1962, would not expire before Dec. 31, 1976.”);[16] extended federal copyright to unpublished works; preempted state copyright laws; codified much copyright doctrine that had originated in case law

“...a film about Chinese communist military pilots who test out state-of-the-art fighter jet technology.”

Back-engineered, pimped-out, monkey-model MiG-21s.

I was disappointed with TopGun2. Very little character development; the plot was a mission to blow up ‘nuke facility’ of unnamed country, no real reason given, not much of a story; scenes of fighter jets were cool and bc not CGI were very impressive, but that’s about it for me.

They’re thinking that an hour later, people will want to see it again.

Seeing Made In China on of their planes’ flight instruments must be the scariest thing in the world.

Lemme guess...their Maverick is proud to have strafed and carpet bombed those counter revolutionary traitors at Tienanmen Square in 1989.

Ya know, the past few days there have been rumors that something BIG was happening in China regarding XI.

No one seem to figure out what it was.

So, in my fantasy, I think it was XI arguing that Top Gun should NOT be shown and his buddies suggested that it was popular among the people, SO, he gave in.

What’s anyone else’s fantasy?

"too favorable to America"

Or maybe this had something to do with it (even though it was censored for Chinese theaters apparently:
