The Chinese have a terrible taste in film IMHO.

They should ask for there favorites Michael Bay and James Cameron to co create movies there. I am very sure it would make 1 billion usd worth in Yuan.

Trouble is...that's all we export anymore: Hollywood, and soybeans.

That's its.

So the USA has no choice but kowtow.

^^^

Sad but true; and Facebook, and Google are increasingly bowing down to similar pressures to make more money too; by watering down our standards of freedom of expression in censoring media, to meet the values of Middle Eastern and other repressing and oppressing societies, like China.

'Vevo', is actually one music distribution,

'pillar' company, in front of this,

in attempts to reach countries in the Middle EAST.

Over half the world now still lives like most of our ancestors do;

before they revolt to gain a freer life of liberty, in the U.S, to pursue happiness as WELL.

AND the happiness that comes with freely expressing human beings, who need not fear a dominating country over their own human nature imprisoned;

AND instead, set free.

I'll keep loving the Good OLE' U.S.A., as good as it gets now, before our freedoms of expression are watered down anymore, by the global competition of competing in places that do not share our basic human freedoms that many take for granted here, now.

Those freedoms are certainly not givens, guaranteed, or warranted, in a world of constant change.

I'll ride the wave of freedom of expression before 'the authorities',

take my free balancing 'surfboard' away..:)

And I will ride those

waves both graceful and hard;

as there is strength in both Grace and Love..:)

I see too many Transformers movies in that list....
Those Transformers movies are basically commercials for Chinese computer companies, it was so obvious and shameless, they didn't even try to hide it or be subtle about it. On the other hand the Chinese can probably only view awful movies because all the good ones would be censored away. Yeeeees, I'm looking at you Wolf of Wall Street.

No nation stays #1 in everything and all the time.

The turn for the East is coming.
