We should force them to watch these awful movies. That’ll show them.

Good. Hollywood has gone down hill regardless but it got even worse when it had to edit its films for Chinese audiences. Maybe we can get skeletons back on the big screen

I’m sure the piracy of Hollywood movies is in full-swing in China already.

Oh dear.

What will the poor little Hollywood people do without the Chinese market to prop up their really very poorly written propaganda?

I weep.

From laughter.

Good. It’s high time ccpwood divorced from chyna.

I’ve long ago tired of starting a movie and seeing the telltale signs that it was either underwritten by chyna or a chyna co-production.

Examples: Skyscraper, The Meg 1&2. And those are just off the top of my head.

IMHO,

Not a smart move by them.

Hollywood hates Trump and the Republicans. Hollywood is in board with a globalist and ultra liberal agenda.

Banning Hollywood films is sticking it to their own ideological allies in the West.

Can’t blame them for that. American films for the most part are trash.

There are two sides to this problem. On the one hand, we have an organized, wealthy group of hostiles who hate America with all their hearts and will do anything to undermine the country and reduce it to a pile of smoking rubble. On the other hand we have the Chinese. Tough choice.
