China is getting more and more involved in the American movie business, and there may be some negative consequences.

The Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese multinational conglomerate corporation, plans to invest billions of dollars in Hollywood’s “Big Six” studios, the China Daily reported. Wanda controls thousands of movie screens around the world and is owned by the richest man in China, billionaire Wang Jianlin.

Could it be any worse than what Hollywood was before. Heck, it might be an improvement.

So communists are taking over? How will we be able to tell the difference?

Another reason to run Kodi and Exodus. You won’t be paying royalties to the ChiComs.

What can they do that hollywood hasn’t done already?

If they’re a REAL corp. they’ll be looking to make money, not propaganda flops.

Crazier things have happened.

My thoughts exactly. The Chinese, even the ChiComs, cannot likely be worse than the left-wing nihilists who now control Hollywood.

I hope they replace all the actors now with Chinese actors.

I fail to see the problem here.

Given the fact that Hollywood, except for a few movies, here and there, has been rather unsuccessful lately, I don’t see this as much of a problem. If the Chinese get involved, they’ll start paying the actors nothing, just like their slave labor making iPhones. Hollywood will die on the vine.

When was the last time you saw a movie made for only the American market?

China already runs Hollywood.

“So communists are taking over? How will we be able to tell the difference?”

Uncanny. That is the exact response word for word that I was about to make.

Why is that a problem? Chinese movies are pretty good. They’d probably help improve the quality of the dreck Hollyweird produces.

H3ll, they might even be an improvement. The ChiComs are into hard core porn, the homo agenda and anti-Christianity anywhere near the extent that the left-wing nihilists who now control Hollywood are. They also know Communism has has its limitations.
