“...Beijing’s largest newspaper, the state-run Global Times, in June ran two editorials on the film, suggesting “U.S. reshoots Cold War movie to demonize China” and “American movie plants hostile seeds against China.”

While conspiracy theorists have suggested the U.S. government attempted to block the “Red Dawn” in the face of Chinese pressure...”

What are they afraid Americans won’t buy their crap from the big box stores?

Instead of fighting the Chinese, the characters will be fighting Christians. That’ll please the ruling class AND the Chinese.

I fear the damage that can be done by people like Barney Frank, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer and George Soros much more than I fear the Chinese.

Little do the Chinese know, we fear our own government far more than we fear them.

“””Instead of fighting the Chinese, the characters will be fighting Christians. That’ll please the ruling class AND the Chinese.”””””””

Actually instead of seeing paratroopers and helicopters in the first scene you will hear the clippety clop of the horses hooves as the AMISH come to take over the country.

Amish buggy-borne Spetznaz armed with pitchforks and butter churns. Identified by their black brim hatted uniforms. Shouting “Gee up there, ol’ Dobbin”. Love it!

Ironically, the 1984 flick depicted the Chinese as cobelligerents of the U.S., though already nuked down to

“Six hundred million screaming Chinamen”

The release date on that trailer said “Summer 2009”.

I guess having corporate fascist white guys taking over the country doesn’t sound plausible anymore.

..and as waves of Chinese infantry advance across “the fruited plain”...instead of screaming “Banzai!” they’ll be screaming “Walmart!”

Why would China want to block the release of Red Dawn? If anything, it would be more of a comedy from their perspective since they won’t have to spend a single penny on a bullet to take over this country.
