Your implication is you think it is OK because the Communists have the power to demand it.

How can you come to that conclusion after reading my posts. Didn't I say the following:

"My point is that the scum in Hollywood could care less about being loyal to the US. It is all the bottom line to them just as it is to most international corporations, e.g., Apple. They want the US to protect their intellectual property rights, but they have no allegiance to this country."

"I don’t support censorship of any kind. Hollywood is caving into to the people who pay them. They could care less about free speech."

"The issue is not just China or some other markets asking to change or modify the content, it is SELF-CENSORSHIP, the worst censorship of all...The Chinese don't have to order Hollywood to do anything. They will do their bidding themselves ensuring that their films can penetrate the Chinese market. And the Chinese are not the only ones that impact censorship.

I am addressing your tone that seems to accept it as a legitimate practice.

I said I am against all censorship, including self-censorship. I described to you the reality, i.e., the facts. I have no idea why you conclude that I accept this as being legitimate. You are just trying to pick a fight for whatever reason.

Yeah. Ok. I think I see the disconnect.

You are wrong about what is happening with regard to China.

The Chinese are ordering them what to do and it is unique to China.

I mentioned Kissinger associates who act as a liaison between the ChiComs and the studios to inform them of the ChiCom demands for market access.

The ChiComs are very actively telling the studios what to do. It is not pure self censorship.

This is because Hollywood would self censor but do not know how to with respect to the ChiCom sensibilities.

You are right that Hollywood self censors, with political correctness etc...
