......”current political climate and censorship prevents creativity”.... (in China)
Why would China spur creativity in their country when they can and do actively send their people ,with those interests, to ours where they can use them to their advantage in spewing their soft propaganda before our audiences....which is part of their agenda for our country.
They’ve already got Hollywood singing their praises who are too stupid to recognize the political game in play..
Most of the creative people would make films critical of their society and government and elites...
Their greatest films that I know of were stunning aesthetically but also intensely piercing critiques of the country.
And therefore banned.
