      <![CDATA[Haven't y'all seen 'This film is not yet rated'? Sure, American films have freedom of expression but the Ratings board can kill a film's distribution deal with an R/X rating it does not deserve. This happens mostly with independent films as the Ratings Board is in cahoots with the major Hollywood studios.

      <![CDATA[A couple of years ago there was a British TV program that was going to show the US president being assassinated. It was rewritten because that wouldn't have been allowed to be shown in the US (apparently you can show old presidents being killed but not the current one). Films and TV that show an American terrorist rarely if ever get made because they wouldn't be acceptable to the more patriotic parts of the US audience. Don't kid yourself into thinking this kind of thing only happens in China.

      <![CDATA[Yeah, we're all whiny and indignant about this, stomping our feet and grumbling, but, in the end, we'll smilingly walk the line that China draws regardless -- we care way more about money than we do integrity, 'artistic vision', and unfettered freedom of expression.  <br>
<br>
Any filmmakers that stand for any of this state-mandated expurgation bullshit are as bad and shameful as the censors themselves.<br>
<br>
As is the case in more and more of our country's dealings, we're China's devoted bitch.
