Usually, they only censor the explicit content. But this is the first time that AI tools were used to directly alter the content of the original film.

By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.

I'm defending you. Mostly. I like your shit in the news mega and wouldn't want you gone. I just also kinda view you through the lens of not being pro-china. I couldn't point to a specific thing that caused that though, my memory is dogshit.

I already said many times before, I am one of the few people here who actually say that China has the size of an economy and military that can directly challenge the global hegemon. It can stop a genocide if it truly wants to. If that is not pro-China, I don’t know what is. I even provided explanations why China has to behave the way it does (clinging on to neoclassical economics). I have written dozens of times what China can actually do to fight Western imperialism.

What I’m seeing more often here are people (who usually don’t understand the country) making various excuses for China because either China is too weak to do anything globally (yet somehow already surpassed the US empire), or it is actually very wise to play the long game that justifies millions of people being genocided. If this is a pro-China stance, then it’s a laughable one.
