Why the Transformers can't beat their way into Beijing

By Fareed Zakaria, CNN

It is the perfect summer blockbuster for audiences around the world - action packed and not too taxing on the brain. The new Transformers movie broke the record for July 4th tickets sales in the U.S. and it's been smashing records in many of the 110 countries around the world where it's showing. It's already made almost half a billion dollars worldwide.

But there's one country that it's not playing in - China.

China doesn't want its people to see Transformers 3 - at least not yet.

Can you believe it? Beijing has imposed a moratorium on new foreign films.

For almost a month, no new blockbusters produced outside China have been released in China. Why? Well, instead of Transformers or Harry Potter, Beijing really wants its people to watch something else - something quite different.

The Beginning of the Great Revival released last month, is an extravagantly produced, state-sponsored propaganda movie, which cost $12 million to make, a fortune by Chinese standards. The film claims to have a cast of more than 100 top Chinese actors playing an array of historical figures.

Among them Mao Tse-Tung or Chairman Mao, who's portrayed not just a revolutionary, but also as a romantic. He's played by a young Chinese heartthrob. And while that might lure in female audiences, the real message isn't about love, but politics.

The film is a pean to the Communist Party, released to honor the 90th anniversary of its founding. It describes the party's influence as having led China down a glorious path of ethnic independence, liberation, national wealth and strength. No mention of the Great Leap Forward, the famine, the Cultural Revolution, or, of course, Tiananmen Square.

The Chinese Communist Party has made sure that this movie will be seen by its people. It's released Beginning of the Great Revival in more than 6,000 theaters accompanied with massive publicity.

By some reports the government expects it to make well over $130 million, twice as much as its last propaganda flick, The Founding of the Republic. And it has also gotten major Chinese corporations to rent out theaters and give employees tickets. Watching the film is mandatory for school children and so on.

So what do people think of the movie? Well, the ratings on Chinese websites have mysteriously been disabled, but if IMDB.com is any indicator, the film scored a two out of 10 rating which is pretty darn poor.

China's control over its movie industry actually raises much larger issues. Studio heads in Los Angeles salivate over the thought of China's 1.3 billion citizens turning into a Hollywood film buffs. There is already great interest in going to the movies in China. China is said to be building two new movie theaters everyday. But the Chinese government is not allowing market forces to determine who watches what movies.

You see, even when there's no blackout or moratorium, China allows only a limited number of foreign films in its theaters every year - about 20 - and even those are subject to strict censorship. And when the films are allowed in, foreign film studios are still stiffed. They reportedly get only 20% of Chinese ticket revenues, much less than they get anywhere else in the world. And, of course, there is massive piracy of DVDs, which the Chinese government does little to prevent.

China's attitude towards foreign movies is troubling because it points in two directions.

First, Beijing appears to be adopting a policy that favors local companies over international ones even if it deprives the Chinese consumer of choice, variety and quality. Businessmen from around the world in various industries have been complaining about such practices, many of which are potentially violations of free trade and of China's treaty obligations.

Second, Beijing seems to be turning in a nationalist direction - consciously promoting propaganda, keeping out foreign influences, all to create greater solidarity at home and legitimacy for the Communist Party. These are worrying tendencies which would cause friction between China and the world, and they are reversal of China's outward orientation over the last three decades - an orientation that has powered China's rise to wealth and prosperity.

But there is some good news. I like one strategy China is employing to promote its own movies.

You've probably heard of Kung Fu Panda. Well, the sequel to that film is out around the world, as every parent knows, and is doing especially well in China.

Beijing is hoping to counter Hollywood's success with the release this month of its own animated action flick. Legend of a Rabbit, the film is about a kung fu bunny, who takes on a big mean bad enemy. The enemy is a panda. Now, that's a fair fight, and may the best animal win.

    Indeed, I wonder where exactly the central government is heading! It encourages people to consume western goods, yet it wants to control the people's minds. Maybe we see a renaissance of the Cultural Revolution!
    I must say the few seconds of the film "The Beginning of the Great Revival" I saw, contained very atmospheric images. I wouldn't mind seeing it!

        I'd rather watch Jews and Chinese in films that are based on history than totally worthless fictional American films like Transformers. The plot of Transformers is just totally worthless.

        Organic robot living in the dark side of the moon is just as crazy as believing that America landed on the moon the first time around in Apollo 11. They probably made it in the succeeding missions after Apollo 13, but they obviously failed in the earlier missions.

        That's why watching American films is a complete waste of money. It's like reading the tabloid "News of the World" which was recently shut down due to its evil behavior. CNN, Time and Newsweek are just the same. It's stuffed with the same propaganda.

        If anyone hasn't seen Transformers 3 yet and plans to watch it, don't bother. Don't let advertising propaganda and brainwashing fool you. Don't let greedy businessmen get the better of you.

        I hope other governments like my own local government bans it too. It's such a stupid film.

        The biggest surprise for many Chinese audiences after seeing the propaganda movie is that China's society in the years immediately following the demise of Qing dynasty was so much better and healthier than it is right now. The communist propaganda machine just cannot hide the fact, if they want to produce something with any historical truth, which they cannot twist completely, that the current time under the communist regime is one of the worst points in China's long history. What an irony! They shoot their own feet.

        Hell even if China became a democractic nation, you n1ggers and 3rackers will still be complaining, cause that's what n1ggers can 3rackers like to do, complain and collect welfare checks

        As a resident here in china, I can say that its not really that big of a deal as the author seems to make it out to be. The only people hurt are the movie companies, as piracy is rampant beyond reason here. Something I attribute more to restriction policies than anything else. I was able to buy a copy of T3 last week for 4RMB(60cents) if i had wanted in a local store, with ease. So its not like were really restricted here with what we can see. Its more like we cant help the western firms make money hand over fist. Which is fine by me.

        They are shown all the time in "art" theaters that specialize in them. We recently saw the German "North Face". Can you not tell the the difference between unprofitable and illegal? You would make a great party member.

        Congratulations , red, you found ONE.... Do you know how many only full featured cartoons are made in Japan every year. Needless to say that the quality, style and storyline in these movies exceed what passes for cartoons in the USA manifold. Anyway, as far as Transformers goes. Good for China they didn't miss much anyway :)

      • opamper

        The difference is that the US does not ban foreign films. It has nothing to do with how many become popular here. Seriously, can you not tell the difference? Not many foreign films play because the market in the US isn't geared toward many good foreign films, or good films in general sadly. They don't play often because some suit decides it won't make $ for their theaters, not because we want to promote state propaganda.....

        You don't see many foreign films in US theaters because they aren't normally very profitable not because the Govt bans them. Most US movie goers don't have the patience to read subtitles.

        The difference, it`s by choice not by the govt telling you what you`ll watch. Foreign films don`t do well here because most people want to see action/horror/fantasy these days not really a foreign speciality.

        @Red, 13assassins, I didn't see any commercials for it, and spend hours watching American
        television cable and network channels.
        Fact is most people, not going to name names, just want to see a certain type of character be portrayed as the hero
        constantly and would only pay money to see their own kind as the protagonist and hero while
        non-(not going to name names) are usually portrayed as the villain.
        But this is America, full of people of a specific race, they have the money,therefore, they have more representation.

      • Craig

        The sad fact is that the American audience isn't geared towards most foreign films. If we take European cinema as an example, and more specifically recent German films there are some great examples. Downfall is likely the most realistic portrayal of the last days of the Third Reich, and it's not purely a "war movie." The Lives of Others could easily rival the best American dramas, and has a touch of Ordinary People about it. The White Ribbon is another great film, and The Reader, which did manage to get to a few screens in the US did very well.

        However, all of these films are light on "action" and mostly devoid of special effects. I doubt there's a single stuntman in The Lives of Others. In short, they are thinking films that seem to move slower than American audiences prefer, and often allow the actors to actually act! They don't generally make money here, and that's why you don't see them. It's not because they're banned or not any good.

        I watch Korean soap operas (with english subtitals) every night on a local cable TV channel and programming from Poland, China and Italy appear on the same channel. Other channels show a lot of Latin American programming. I especially enjoy the Korean soap operas because of the high quality of many of the actors and the great historical content of series such as "The Great King Sejong" or "The Iron Empress". These are not wall-to-wall martial arts stories, although some fight scenes occur when appropriate, but they are mostly about the very real dilemmas and tough life choices that people endured. And there is some content dealing with China's expansionist intent and political and military pressure exerted against Korea through many centuries.

      • chibidw

        One of the big things to take home here is that although foreign films in the US may not be the most publicized movies around, you are at least still able to find them and watch them -any time you want-, you're not suddenly being blocked out from all movies except what the government made for "History of the people's glorious United States" month and having your kids forced to go watch it and your employer hand you tickets and give you a thinly veiled "go watch this if you like working here/being alive."

        July 11, 2011 at 12:03 am |
      • Skeeve

        Actually folks, the difference in the words only. While the *idea* of banning something and not publicizing something might *sound* different to you the result is the same – lack of easy access. Reference to "choice" and "government" is a pure ideological verbiage – the result is the same. Yes, if you live in NYC you can watch a lot of different movies that are screened here, once, possibly twice. Try to watch the same list in, say, central Alabama. Believe it or not that often ANY foreign movie is screened in China as well. As for what you can potentially watch on cable or satellite, again it reflect, if you wish an "elite" access, such "elite" access available in China as well.

        As for banning any movie, they are not banning them, simply postponing. This is actually quite common, I saw many movies being released in Europe months after the release here. Besides, believe it or not (I just returned from China) DVDs with Transformers are widely available already, so, if it is just access and availability that bothers you so much, don't worry everything is available and, actually easily accessible, to a much wider audience then here.

        Go on netflix they have foreign movies all the time. Plus it takes money to show a foreign film if the theater cant make money they wont show the movie. The biggest Foreign Film i can remember in theaters was Funny Games. Technically it was a remake, but done by the same director. The movie is almost 100% the same as the original except its in English and the mom is hotter. Plus with the amount of Movies being made in the U.S. who has time for foriegn movies?

This year it won: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay at the Academy Awards and Best Actor at the Golden Globes and Best Actor and Ensemble Cast at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

        Good point – I don't see Chinese films breaking attendance records here. In fact – I never saw one! And I'd have to travel two hours to see a French or Italian film and they only get shown once or twice a year. So this is a non-issue to me. Hollywood accounting is the lamest thing going – - who cares if these entertainment idiots get more screens in a different country – greedy bastards (I don't mean the artists – I'm talking execs)

Indeed, it is a foreign movie (British) that was released in the USA for a wide viewing 8 month after its premier following rather intense battle with local prudes who wanted to slap an R rating because the use of profanity. Yeah.. transformers with a half of a city destroyed is PG13, Kings Speech is R; makes perfect sense, really. Needles to say that by that time Kings Speech was released in about every other country

        The reason most foreign films are not shown in the States is becuase of quality. Hollywood is like the empire of movies and entertainment. You make it to Hollywood your gold in the entertainment industry. Musicians, actors, actresses, and comidians strive to go to Hollywood and that is a top goal to be a Global performer. Hollywood stars are not from just the states they are from all over the world. People usually start small where they are from and then perform in their country and thats when they take the leap to Hollywood (it is sink or swim there). If you take Hollywood you got the world. Ask any entertainer if you can get a label there your gold. You be less famous in your country and become famous in the US and out of nowhere you become number one person in your country even if you starred in a series. Just remember haters are going to hate.

This world is far more complex than you could understand.

        Individually, nothing wrong with making a bad movie and trying hard to make people watch it and make money out of it. It is just unfair that businesses can use large quantity of money to buy media and advertise day and night and sell anything they want to. Who says that MONEY should have this much of power when GOVERNMENTS should not? I don't believe it is right either.

        What China and any other country should do is to legalize the ban on products that directly or indirectly promote violence. Specialist committee including social scientists, psychologists, doctors and biologists should decide which are. It has nothing to do with freedom of information because consuming products promoting violence is potentially harmful to individuals and the society, and is partially responsible for many crimes and physical and mental disorders. Aren't there enough studies out there already?

      • imastarchick

        /@John, MONEY should have control.. think it through ... in a society that promotes equal access to resources, we all have the same potential access to power. In most societies where GOVERNMENTS have ultimate power, control is concentrated on a few who ascend to power and have access to weapons. Then they do things like force its citizens to watch bad movies. $$$ combined with free access is a great equalizer, in a darwinian sense it weeds out the bad and promotes hard work.

        I agree with you that capitalism has made a better world for a large part of the world in the history, but it also caused the most destructive wars and disasters in human history. World War II is not that far yet. We are seeing how a few on the Wall Street can ruin the life of millions. With the world's fortune in a few's hands now, how can one ignore the destructive force of a system under this stage? As a biologist, I cannot disagree more with you in general to imply Darwin's law as rightful and effective in dealing with social issues.

        @imastarchick Yes, please think it through. I don't care what society "promise" and what you can do "potentially". With quantum mechanics probability I can potentially convert water to wine. In the USA, potentially you have access to political power, funny though that this "potential" of your is considerably lower than, yes, in China. You can declare all you want but unless you can demonstrate that these declarations can be actually realized at least semi-consistently they remain just that – an ideological drivel. The fact on the ground are unfortunately against your "potential". The USA, for example has very low social mobility among all developed countries and the lowest income mobility, and it is lower then in China. That suggest that at least at the moment on average you have more social and economic opportunities in China then here. Sad, but true.

        I think it shows strength to ignore American media. Why must anyone else watch what we watch. What if they think it is not best? Personally, movies, tv shows, and music in america are more responsible for the huge amount of narrow minded American youth than anything else. Perhaps the Chinese saw this and decided to change it.

        The idea behind Transformer 3, like other Hollywood made, is the worship of power and violence. That is the belief the US is holding and educating its citizens. Translated in the real world, it means that you don't listen to my advice, I will bomb you. Like Lion King, behind it, America is the lion, the king of the jungle. Other countries' fate is to be submissive. Even Kung Fu Panda, there is always a struggle between good and evil. Hollywood cliche, black and white image about the world. It's surreal Hollywood can make billions of dollars each year out of these junk. It's wrong that a government censors its citizens from free information, but I don't want big corps to run a country either.

      I'm from the USA but have lived in China for 5 years now and it has really changed- for the worse. The level of repression is at post-Tianenman square massacre levels and much of this can be attributed to things like the 'Red Revival' in China (term the communist party uses). As as example, employees of China's SEO's or state owned companies are strongly requested/required to watch this film (The Beginning of the Great Revival ). My colleagues, many of whom have spouses and or parents working for SOE's told me that their spouses/folks have been told that as a group they must watch the movie and they were told they should bring their families as well.
      Before the movies, the employees sing old nationalist songs and then hear an oratory about the good things the communist party in China has done.
      Since the Olympics have ended, China has cracked down on dissent, many say this is due to the fact that next year Xi Jinping will be put in the office as leader of the party and the people are worried about power struggles. Whatever the cause, according to experts, as the communist party feels threatened it is making a bid to silence all disbelievers or potential rabble rousers. The result is the phenomenon of eulogizing the party.

Yes the PRC is throwing this movie on the 90th anniversary of the party and delaying by 2 weeks the next summer blockbuster, but here as in any other country , you basically get all the summer blockbuster movies, I think I haven't missed one yet, Thor,Pirates,KungFu Panda 2, Rio, next week Transformers and even the stupid smurfs movie is coming out here.

        And many foreigners don't live in Beijing (Many do of course), so just because you're in China doesn't mean you're in the capital.

        Secondly there are such things as VPNs and proxies if you want to hide your IP address. Most of us here use these just to get on to all the blocked sites.

        Thirdly so what if they do monitor the IPs? As long as you aren't slagging them off they don't really mind, even if they notice.

        As far as the posters who this this "American in China" can't actually be in China and is a fake. What an ignorant opinion, consider they may work for the US embassy or be married to a Chinese national and could easily post from the USA or anywhere else while on vacation. Now, as far as this film, remember China is the biggest counterfeiter of films and other goods, wanna bet this film is on the streets for sale for $1 for whoever wants to see it? Now I've been to China, but it was only a brief vacation so I tend to believe what the poster said about what changes they've noticed in China. Oh, and while I'm at it, our trade deficit? Stop buying cheap Chinese goods, though they are cheap to buy, they are cheaply made and hurt the USA. Demand quality made goods that will last more than a few months or a year before breaking... preferably made in the USA. Our US manufacturers have sold out America ideals and the American working public. And if China doesn't unequivocally open its borders to trade, slap tariffs on Chinese goods, when they slap tariffs on the few American goods going over there, guess who comes out ahead? Take some of the tariff money and reimburse the few American exporters who lost some money on exports due to the tariff war, and put the rest towards our national debt (fueled in part by the current China trade deficit!!!).

      Mao started out as a hero who tore his country away from a dictator so he could give it to the people of China, and then he decided to turn the people of China into the people he felt they should become. He did this by controlling their schools and changing their culture, and he meant well but ended up being an evil dictator. It would be hard to express this in a movie that was totally pro-Mao . . .

What would u think then? ALso china dont have movies about "mistakes" in the past such as tianmen sq etc...just as america dont have movies on waterboarding and killing civilians in iraq etc...no movies of sympathy to uigurs just as aericans dont have any movies of sympathy to the 911 hjackers...some of these censorships are understandable...some are just the evils of "goverment".

      All of you missed the point!! China doesn't really block most things because of the awful outside influences or to spread propaganda so much as to spur economic growth on Chinese products. As an expat and current resident in Shanghai, I can tell you that controlling the people isn't really what the government needs to worry about at all. People here are very tame – they pretty blindly accept things the government feeds them with little complaint. They don't understand how bad our internet connections are here because they've never had better access. They truly believe that China does not have the dirtiest most polluted cities in the world. They don't know what lead poisoning is. They know the Party messes with their news and they aren't upset about it.

      The reason China blocks things like imdb.com , google, youtube, facebook, and so on is primarily because of the amount of money China makes with their Chinese duplicates of these products – baidu, youku, renren, etc. China is a huge market in and of itself and for now China is only focusing on cornering their own market. I see it all the time. They don't bother themselves with global domination just yet – only on domination every inch of the Chinese market.

      As for the movie market – if America found a way to sue China over copyright issues and forced them to pay full price THAT could spur an uprising! Movies – all movies, I haven't found any legit copies – cost $1.50. I have a copy of Harry Potter 7 – 1 already and the Hangover 2 is coming into our stores shortly. Chinese people love foreign movies – they are just strategically released into only our cheapy markets to keep the US from banking on them.

    Your response.....to movies being allowed sounds like another "China Bannes Time Travel Movies".....in the business section, which didn't even happen in China, granted making the state funded movie was a bad move, but the censorship in some cases is so that c.r.a.p isn't showned to the people.....like some north American shows, ex Jersey Shore, The Real House Wives of......, etc.

    How can not being able to watch a movie "These are worrying tendencies which would cause friction between China and the world", it's a movie.....which could be found online sooner or later.

I let you in why I think movie is different from goods, because movies have message in it and some of it is not fit for everyone, for most of Hollywood movies was not represent a global multicultural theme, but just USA(no American) idea. If Hollywood start making movies that is more suitable for multicultural global community, there will be less problem to get it some theater in other country.

Maybe the elephant can convince Donald Trump to run for US Presidency with 'I Can See Russia from My Backyard' Palin as VP. What a combination to save the US economy !

      Completely agree! (Acutally just FYI, Transformers IS showing in China, perhaps a couple weeks behind the US release date, but it has not been banned. Just screening a bit later, which happens any time, anywhere depending on the line up of films during that period!)

    I believe The Transformers will be in theater anyway. They just want to avoid "schedule conflicts." I think Fareed worries too much about the Chinese people being influenced by the propaganda. Actually people have ways (such as through P2P) to see these hollywood films. P2P is an open secret. Lots of my American classmates are using it.
    And if Fareed understand the Chinese language, I suggest he go online and read the Chinese people's comments on everything. He'll find his judgements are not always true.
    The problem with some "western sinologists" is that they are prone to generalization.
    I can tell he has a hard time trying to figure out what the Chinese are thinking.

    dear fareed, some things will not change very soon. The chinese are wise people. They have proved to the world that their system is not too bad- in fact it might be better than most countries.They know there are some things which are not perfect. Like the censorship laws, and the single party monopoly.
    But if you think of it. they have bought over 1.2 trillion dollars worth of american bonds from their hard-earned export earnings. This has been due to the strict rules in the country, their disciplined , school-principal way of controlling their country. They are happy with it. Even the chinese president just said in the UK, that china might soon have a better democracy with more parties, but they do not want the west to lecture them on this subject. China is a matured country. they know what is best for them, so let us give them the freedom and leeway to operate as they wish best. Let us hope china will have excellent relations with the usa, uk, japan, india, pakistan etc always. Amen. my request pls keep your board clean by appointing moderators to clean up the trash that is spouted by your indian and pakistani antagonists. Otherwise you will lose the serious readers because no one wishes to be part of a garbage train. There is a particularly sick person from swat valley who keeps on talking of urine etc. Pls keep the platform clean and healthy, by flagging objectionable material.

      It's pretty easy to have a competitive economy when you have masses of unrepresented, repressed, uneducated people that have no choice but to work for pennies for the advantage of a few elite (Although it seems the US is also headed in that direction....thanks to the Tea Party). I would say that the single party system is more than a "little problem". Let's look at some other historical single-party contries, say like the USSR and Nazi Germany. Didn't work out too well for the "little man" did it? How's it working out for the masses in China? I would say also not too well if you want a life other than one filled with unrewarded toil.

        "It's pretty easy to have a competitive economy when you have masses of unrepresented, repressed, uneducated people that have no choice but to work for pennies for the advantage of a few elite" -- yes, poverty is still a huge issue in most of China but development and spread of wealth takes time. In a short 30 years, the country has developed the personal wealth and level of consumerism that most countries have been working toward for a period far longer than that. Disparity is no doubt an issue, but there is at least opportunity now, there is a chance for them to move upwards and to make money. Their minimum wage may seem meager compared to what you have in your country, but it's proportionate to where the country's economic development is now and it's actually getting higher. Look South to Vietnam and you'll find labor costs far lower than even China.

    Wow, Fareed. It looks as if you've really lost it. I start to find your rhetoric – hate to say – but quite desperate, even pathetic nowadays. I've respected you so much during these last years. But this starts to be disappointing now. The rhetoric and discourse about China's actions and the attempt to describe China as something, which the U.S. is somehow not, is just simply deceptive and misleading. A find this as a part of a creation of the "new narrative" about the U.S.-China relations, which Joseph Nye has been yearning and counseled after during these past few months.

    Careful observation has brought up that your stance about the rise of China has evolved remarkably during the last 1.5 years. You've started to lose your faith in bringing China into the core of the liberal world order. Do you think China wouldn't have the right to decide independently about its movies? If in Sweden I have to watch your Hollywood films, that's okay, as we're such a small nation and need to find greater partners. But China with its 1.3 billion people and support from all the non-Western continents (you've seen the PEW results I'd think) would somehow need to be obliged to spread by force such pieces of culturally highly vibrating and inspiring films as Transformers 3 and Harry Potter into their own markets...? You gotta give me a break! I would actually rather go to see that "Beginning of the Great Revival" or even "The Founding of the Republic" than I'd go to see Mel Gibson's Patriot, or Ted Turner's Gettysburg and God's and Generals.

    And by the way:

    Choice and variety may not mean quality in this case! Or if it in your opinion does, I need to say you gotta have a really bad taste. I don't know if Transformers 3 and Harry Potter are that inspiring... The leaning to this old positivist tradition and the discourse of "free" trade is absolutely amazing. To me this is a continuation of the neoliberal Washington Consensus attitude...

    (And j. von Hettlingen, hejsan to you too, you gotta be from Sweden or Norway too? They just announced that major powers are using cooperative people and pseudonyms to fill out the discussion platforms to be able to divert the discussion in a more favourable direction. That was interesting information. This was mainly about China and the U.S.)

    I though think that the fundamental mistake we are making here, is not acknowledging how strikingly similar the U.S. and China and their superpower behaviour are. The main differences are civilizational, but the modern superpower practices on a level where the ideological and cultural aspects are somewhat stripped off, are more similar than you'd think. For the first time you've met a nation that does not play by the rules of the American Colossus – and cannot be pressured by hard power means – neither military nor economic – into the "right" direction. This is the new reality – and Fareed seems to be thunderstruck. Or he at least plays he is.

    But would you Fareed hand on your heart be ready to say that China's international behaviour should be more condemned than the one of the U.S.A?

    I think that is a crucial question that should be pondered. You are correct, that it would be better and more historical if the Chinese included Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution or Tiananmen in their films, which would from the Western point of view diminish their soft power globally and lose their legitimacy internally. But I haven't seen much of the American mainstream films, which would deal with the ICJ case on Nicaragua vs. the United States in the 1980s, the American role in the destruction of Cambodia and Laos, the structural violence that have directly and indirectly caused the death of tens of millions in the third world and so on... I have neither rarely seen the allowance of a serious critique of Western-style 'democracy' and free market system. Even though it's quite perfect, it causes and has caused some serious deadly damages during the decades. But I see only certain kind of thrillers, dramas, comedies, cartoons and patriotic films, which won't bring up much of these issues.

    But I guess we're then so naive that a letter with a message that "China is actually wrong and should not be admired like the United States and the 'free markets' (whatever they are)" is possible to put in to the wide media circulation – and it will reach platform too. Well, so be it then. But as a European every day as I read your posts, Fareed, I'm more and more starting to turn towards the East. Your posts give me a very worrisome signal. I didn't know that the situation is so bad! This post among many does not show me strength, but rather weakness. It looks as if you have started to balance on a very thin ice and have started to lose confidence in that everything will keep in up and in order. China didn't then become part of your game and shows to be too strong to be forced into it – and has started to create a new game with new rules. But I've still kept my faith in the coastal line on the other side of the Atlantic. But right now as I read your posts I've started to lose the faith. I'm surprised that it has come to this. I don't know if China is that better an option, but for now if your reflections are like this, I'd think it has started to get the upper hand. It's like the Oxford debate, I've sticked with this side, but by carefully reading your commentaries lately, I've started to take steps into the other direction. And that's just sad. Fareed, please give me at least some reasons to stay on this side and not walk into the other camp. I believe I'm definitely not the only one. And that's just sad.

    Anyway, all the best for you in the continuation and good energies for the future,
    I anyway still respect the hard work you do everyday, I'm just afraid that it does not take the people to the right direction now,

    thanks,

    yours sincerely,

      Actually if you have studied modern Chinese history and check out some part of the film on youtube, at least the part about the founding of Republic of China and destroying the Qing Dynasty is quite amazing.
      I don't know why Fareed made suck a fuzz about mandatory watching. People are asked to watch and they will just watch it; if they don't like it they can take a nap during the film. They will judge it for themselves.
      Fareed is trying hard spreading sinophobic sentiment in the U.S. and around the Globe.
      Unfortunately it is not going to work as he wishes.
      Americans have created a lot of enemies around the world by imposing their ideology and waging a lot of wars on ethnic minority.
      Fareed might want to read more on professor Nye's articles:
      "the US and China should avoid developing exaggerated fears of each other’s capacities and intentions. The expectation of conflict can itself become a cause of conflict."

Isn't true that this country spent the most on military strength, something like equal to almost all the other countries combined each year, and fighting the most wars in the modern world?

        In America, Washington does not make movies, Hollywood does. They are commercial ventures. Some movies have truthful story lines, others do not. Some are worthy of our time, others are not. The only regulatory involvement in the process is the assigning of rating categories to protect children. Free market and commercial interests drive dictate the successfulness of the venture, not politics. This is completely different to the censorship involving countries like China, and particularily In the case of the Beijing backed movie in question.

        Disclosure: I have not viewed either Transformers or Beginning of the Great Revival, nor do I plan to view either movie in the next 72 hours.

        Yes, they censor movies, but that censorship is indirect. Movies are not banned directly, they are just not advertised in the mainstream so no one knows that alternatives exist. It is probably even more effective, because if some movie was banned and the press would write about it, it would have just the opposite effect. And the censorship is not political, but more driven by movie corporations which don't want to lose profit to foreign companies. Japan for example produces a lot of great movies, but it is very hard to see any of them in the US movie theaters.

      "FREEMAN" – which is likely a misnomer, pass the Koolaid and we might see your view. China is free and welcome to make any movies they want, but if you expect to show it in America it will have have audience appeal. If Beginning of the Great Revival, based in fact or fiction, was of interest to mass market America it would released in theaters, widely promoted and everyone would make lots of money. Of course that is not going to happen because the interest is not there, it is not what people want the general population WANTS to see – and in America, and in many other countries, that matters.

    Why is it that a movie celebrating Chinese history is called propaganda but that word is never used to describe the pro American trash from hollywood? I would venture to say that American propaganda is all the more insidious because there is a mistaken pretense that it doesn't exist. At least anyone can clearly see the propaganda in this particular Chinese film and therefore it is easier to seperate from the enjoyment of the film itself.

      The script for every single war movie made in the US must be approved by the Pentagon, or else they can't use any military harware. Yet Americans are unable to see this as propaganda. At least the people in China are aware that their media is controlled by the government. Americans are clueless. Of course Chinese propaganda is rather clumbsy and easy to spot. In contrast, US propaganda is much more sophisticated and Americans seem largely unaware of it. That not only make US propaganda more effective, but more potentially more dangerous. For the most part, Americans believe whatever the media tells them to believe, without question.

      By saying you watched this movie and paid for it shows how stupid you really are... I did'nt watch the first because transformers died with the 80's.... I swear how many old movies and icons do we have to dig up before humans start creating agian... were all so busy copying each other we barley have time to develop... e.g. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" oh yeah theres more sequels of already bad and old movies :(

    Hollywood movie/star was the center of entertainment around the world, but nowadays? Not necessarily. Chinese people are not losing information or freedom just because the government is not releasing the 'transformers' at the same time with the other countries.

    I think you should do some more research because China is not the only country that not played Transformer 3 or any other Hollywood films. You should also consider Indonesia to be put in your list, Indonesian also cannot watch Hollywood films since February 2011 because of some conflict on movie tax between the government and importers and MPAA.

Gosh, since there's stuff going on in the Middle East, why don't we start a 'Jasmine Revolution' in China too? Too bad no one showed up but the individuals who started the event: western journalists. That's clearly inciting public disorder.
    No one is surprised when they're not invited to some Chinese event, and CNN has the gall to post that they're 'disinvited' from the event on the front page. LOL
    How about you guys stop posting clearly biased articles on a government that has gotten its 1.3 BILLION people out of starvation, and focus on trying to foster intra-nation friendship and cooperation?
    Oh but wait! You can't, because sensationalist media is all there is nowadays. At least on this website.
    And banning a piece of garbage movie will cause friction?
    When Americans say that we should protect our own labor industry and try to keep production domestic and stop the massive amount of imports, do you see other countries spitting on us for it?

    Screw the Chinese Government. The people are fine, nice for the most part. But their government doesn't represent the people. America has made the same mistake twice now: the first was the Russians following WW2. Had America just smoked them immediately (as Patton wanted to do), there would not have been a Cold War. And now America has repeated that mistakewith China. The rest of the world was so lax on them due to business opportunities that they have been alllowed to grow way beyond their own capabilities, all while being led by a government that is intent on holding its people under water as much as it can. I can only hope that when things come to a head, America comes out ahead again. But I doubt it. China will ally with Russia and Norht Korea most likely, and we're going to see some major sparks fly one of these days as the world lines up against each other again.

    For five thousand years the Chinese have been ruled by feudal autocrats. The fact the Chinese Communist party has much better public relations than previous dictatorships changes little in that regard. In the past, there were many rich Chinese, who did what they wished while bowing to the Emperor, and many, many more poor peasants just bowing to everyone. In a modern context, today's China story is the same one.

    It is horrifying how many of these comments are supportive of China and critical of the article's author. I haven't seen Transformers 3, but I'm sure it is a dumb movie. However, that's not the point! The Chinese government is using its power to control what information its citizens have access to and that is a dangerous practice! Moreover it is a potential threat to other countries. If the Chinese government has the ability (or near-ability) to control the thoughts of its citizens, what would happen if the its message became. "death to America" as it resoundingly is among much of the Middle East.

    Speaking of movies, here are some recommendations; 1984, V for Vendetta, Brave New World...let's hope these themes stay contained in film and not become reality...

If you're complaining that the Chinese people are zombies under the control of the Chinese government, then you are buying into Fox's propaganda.

      b.t.w. I lived in Kuwait for 10 years. Most of my friends were from the middle east. While I found no one that would agree with US foreign policy, I have never met a single person who said "Death to America" or anything close to it.

The Communist Party's propaganda is dull, predictable and amateurish and presents no threat to people's minds either inside or outside China.

    I find it interesting that Fareed speaks of Chinese propaganda when he spews his own about the 'merits' of free trade. Is Fareed really so stupid as to believe that the Chinese would 'open up' to the West and allow them (their mega corporations and mega banks) to literally take over China?? Really Fareed, you're surprised by this? Perhaps the surprise comes from feeling like you (along with all the other free trade idiots) were suckered....They now have the productive output that the US once had and are stock piling gold and building a military (which could eventually rival that of the US)...Are you getting it yet, Fareed? That's right idiot...We've just handed over huge stores of wealth to a Communist dictatorship...What did you think was going to happen?

    Why do we allow China to sell to the US with no restrictions when they ban some of our products. We need to treat them the same way they treat us, either ban or charge a punitive tariff on one segment of their exports. Electronics, or clothing, maybe personal hygiene products. Make it respond to an automatic reactionary formula, so the tariffs stop when they lift their bans, or they increase when China increases their bans.,

    Either the readers are ignorant or deliberately trying to change the focus. This article is less about Transformers or that Chinese movie. This is about gross violation of free-trade practice and the unfair practices carried on by the China as a country. It is also a little bit about how distant free-speech seems to be in that country (which I don't care a bit). Point is by delaying, banning, cutting revenue, allowing open bootlegging – the PRC is gaining unfair advantage and the western countries mainly the USA is losing revenue not based on product performance but based on unfair trade practices.

        Tony – what this means that you have the right to see or not see, like or dislike whatever movie you desire. The government does not choose that for you. The basic premise of free-will is that you have enough IQ to make your own judgement. And once again as I mentioned in my original post – it is not about the movie "Transformers" but for the sake of argument let it flop/succeed based on its individual merit. The producers will learn their lesson based on the box office.

        To be fair, I think these these things including leaded toys (famous Chinese products), MacDonald, coca-cola and Hollywood movies (famous American inventions) belong to the same list that should be banned from access to every human being for good. As it is clear to American and Chinese that those Chinese stuff found in WalMart are bad for you, it seems that it is not clear to many that those American stuff are bad for you body too. I'd say that the authority should act to ban them.

    You can get uncensored media all over China, any salesman on the street can help you there. But lets be pragmatic Fareed – If anything, piracy is a good thing for proliferating American culture (if that is your endgame). Let China develop a fan-base so when it "rises" and the population can finally afford to go see movies in theaters, they will.

    On another note, I am perplexed by everyone's presumptions that this "censorship" is intrinsically a bad thing. Take a step back and realize that a majority of you are looking at it from a liberal, western point of view. Many Chinese don't view this kind of behavior as particularly bad because their view of the state is SUPPOSED to operate differently then ours. Sure, maybe if we liberalize them they will "see the light", join NATO, and suck our cock. But that isn't going to happen. Maybe YOU don't like censorship. That's fine, me neither. But how do you figure that our values are right for China? This pattern of thought has gotten the US in trouble before and spells diplomatic failure from all angles.

        China is the strongest country in the world right now in every way.

        They have the strongest economy-they likely have the cash richest economy-they have the largest conventional military and they probably have the largest nuclear capability in the world too.

        Unlike all the other countrys named before-the U.S. does'nt have the option of not repaying it's debt.

        The world market is -for now- based on the American dollar.

        But that will change and when it does-the U.S. will be in really huge financial trouble.

        A debt defualt would be a big sign to the world that those markets need to shed dollars and buy whatever stronger currency can be exchanged for that falling dollar.

        I assure all of you-the amount of foreign owned debt does matter-the amount of foreign ownership of American property does matter and the amount of foreign influence in the American government matters too.

        Lobbiests don't care who pays them and politicians don't care who pays lobbiest as long as each gets their cut of the money.

        And no one in the U.S.govenment thinks what they do can hurt the long term interests of the American people.

        In the end our freedoms won't be worth the paper they are written on.

    Why would someone pay 100-200RMB for a movie ticket in China (15-30$) when a DVD costs 10RMB ($1.50) down the street? Better yet, why would anyone (outside of foreigners/tourists) buy those DVDs when they can download movies on the internet? I live in China – and my Chinese friends don't understand why I go to the DVD store. They download all their movies, and we only go to theaters as a social activity...
    If Transformers was anything like the other crap Michael Bay has produced I'm not interested anyway. China wasted one of its movies on Fast & Furious and doesn't need another mindless action flick to make Chinese people think American's are morons.....
    Why isnt this article arguing about getting a smart or thought provoking movie into Chinese theaters? Just like American's will stereotype Chinese off what they see in something like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; the Chinese will base what they see off what they watch.
    Final note of my rant: the new Karate Kid is huge in China – if the US really wants to use movies as a political statement they should learn how to play the game and make sure both China & US are shown in a positive light

    I spent a term at Beijing university as an exchange student. I keep in touch with a handful of local students I met there and yes they've all seen Transformers 3. Not legally in theatres. But 5 RMB (which is less than a dollar) for a knock off DVD near any major train station. It's irrelevent what they are allowed and aren't allowed to see or own (they also have facebook), there's always a way.

    That being said, I did go see Transformers 2 days ago. I couldn't wait to get out of there with about an hour left. Thespecial effects were great, but the prolonged mindless fighting and cheesy script which dominated the entire second half of the movie was ridiculously painful to watch.

    I can't believe how much misinformation there is out there regarding China. To keep things brief, I'll just state a few points. Please note that I am NOT American, nor do I have any desire to be American. At the same time, I've travelled to China on busines 2-3 times a year for the past 20 years and have very intimate knowledge of its inner workings.

    1) America has already won whatever world race is going on, however you define it, for one simple reason.....American Culture. Chinese youth are obsessed with American Culture, whether its rock and roll, Gangsta rap, McDonalds, Mickey Mouse, Nightclubs playing Britney Spears or Kardashian-style shallow consipicuous consumption. The most popular plastic surgery in China right now is to get their eyes made rounder so they look more Western. It's possibly the saddest part about American's success....the world desperately wants to adopt America's horribly shallow culture. If America controls the culture, then they will always rule the world, whether overtly or subconsciously. I'm not saying it's good, just that it's true.

    2) Nothing that the Chinese government says publicly is even worth the paper its written on. They make up every statistic to serve their propaganda. Take for example their employment rates. China is building massive suburbs and new cities all over the country. They do this to keep millions of labourers employed out of fear of revolt. The majority of these developments never sell. There are these brand new ghost cities everywhere. I've seen them over and over again. Furthermore, they hide the massive debt incurred to build these cities. What happens is a local, existing city takes on the project. Then they create a corporation to take on the debt for the project because Chinese cities are not allowed to hold debt. Then they allow this corporation to just sit there holding the debt indefinitely because no one can afford to buy any units in the development. It's the worlds largest house of cards.

    3) As for original ideas, no one in China wants to start something new and original because it will get ripped off the day after they make it public. With absolutely zero intellectual property protection, China will never truly innovate, and thus they will never dominate.

    4) As for statistics regarding how many engineers they have, it's also false information. The quality of China's university system is horrible. Trust me, I've worked with thousands of Chinese engineers over the years. 90% of Chinese engineers would barely qualify for an associate degree in the US. At the end of th day, the remaining 10% who are truly qualified engineers, are less than the number graduating in the US each year. Furthermore, plagiarism and cheating are so insanely rampant in China, that it's doubtful if even those remaining 10% are any good.

    5) Let's not forget corruption in China. This is a topic that could fill books. Every single person I've ever dealt with in China for business, has always presented their plan to make extra money for themselves personally on the side. Every single public works project has yield dozens of people who line their pockets as they execute the project. Corruption is beyond rampant in China. It's part of the cultural fabric. This is unsustainable.

    I could go on for days about who inaccurate almost every statistic about China's growth is. Yes, they are growing rapidly. Yes, they are making money. But it truly is a house of cards that will implode at some point.

      I must strongly disagree with your point regarding Chinese engineers. I work for an international oil and gas company, and in the past few years I've seen a growing number of professional engineers hired directly from mainland China, who often speak very little English and are terrified of meetings. But they are the ones that always deliver results and come in to work whenever summoned without complaints. They are also often the ones keeping things from blowing up by correcting miscalculations done by local engineers. Based on what you said about this point it makes me question everything else you say, because I know this, at least, is not true.

    In 2099, the Beginning of the Great Leap Backward will be released. It will be an extravagantly produced, state-sponsored propaganda movie, which cost $14 trillion to make, a fortune by Amerexican standards. The film will have top actors playing an array of historical figures, among them Barack Obama, who's portrayed not just a revolutionary, but also as a romantic. He's played by a young Amerexican heartthrob. And while that might lure in female audiences, the real message isn't about love, but politics. The film will be a paean to the Communist Party, released to honor the 90th anniversary of its founding.

    Well, the first part of this sentence definitely contains some wisdom that our U.S. gov't needs to be reminded of, instead of extending tax breaks and bailouts to corporations that just ship jobs overseas. However, I do think it's disturbing that Chinese governmental control is as strict, powerful and uncompromising as it is, considering we're in the 21st century. Still, not everyone from other countries thinks U.S. culture is so great. McDonald's, Jersey Shore, Britney Spears, and Goldman Sachs aren't going to save the world.

    Not being released huh???...Odd there are several web sites here I'm looking at indicating the theater, and show times in China. The sites are in Chinese so not many Americans can read them to check your facts, but if you have Google to translate, you can see it right before your eyes the date and times. In true fact: "Transformers 3" due to various reasons was postponed to July 21 release. This is 20 days or so later than the film's global release dates.

    Transformers release time June 29, 2011: France, Britain, Norway, Poland, Canada, India, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Brazil
    Transformers release time June 30, 2011: Malaysia, Hungary, Denmark, Australia, Chile, China Taiwan  

    It was also decided by Paramount the release date as well, not the scary 'Chinese government'. "If we hadn't chosen to debut the movie later in Japan and China, we probably would have had the all-time record," noted Don Harris, general manager of distribution for Paramount“. It's lies like this that the media states as facts that create the fear of everyone else in the world that is not an American. It's particularly disgusting in the case of China, and other non English language country's, because Americans can not check your facts as easy, because of the language barrier.
    Also, a film about the history of the only intact country to survive the ancient world, in my view is something to respect, revere, and inspire patriotism. Not to criticize. As for the government spending 12 million to make a film, and intake 130 million in profit sounds like sound finical gain in my eyes. I mean we are in 3 wars, and the government is on the verge of going bankrupt, and closing national parks. Not to add we are in debt to China a whopping 1,160.1 Billion. Thats about 3,721.00 every American owes China.
    As an American married to a Chinese national, it's embarrassing to see the media report such lies about China, but I understand the jealousy that Americans feel in seeing a country that was once considered a rival, excel so incredibly, and soon to surpass us on so many different levels, like education, wealth, health, patriotism, and a positive sense of well being in general. As America spirals into an economic abyss.
    I would post the links for you to translate, but CNN does not let this post go through.

    Oh... PLEASE... To act as though there is a question as to WHY they do it, is pure insanity. We know why they do it. It is for a "harmonious society"... "harmonious" meaning they don't want the people to question why foreign goods, like movies, cost so much in China, and to slow any outflow of cash to foreign countries. So, they limit the legitimate release, while openly allowing (and fostering) the piracy and distribution of all western movies.

    State licensed sites are known to get pirated copies and show them up to a week before they are even show to WESTERN audiences.

    A few months ago, Tudou and Youku both had initial IPO's on the NYSE, and that was the first time that those companies removed pirated movies. The government had them do it. However, no other sites were asked to remove them.

    Look, if I can't open a site that mentions Tiananmen 1989, Falun Gong, Tibetan Independence, or more recently, the RUMOR of Jiang Zimen's death... Yet I can go to State sponsored websites and watch Harry Potter movies, a week before their initial release in the US/UK... We know what is going on.

The Chinese government isn't limiting movies based on the idea that they don't want the message of "Capitalistic Dogs" infesting the minds of the masses. They are doing it out of pure greed for not wanting Chinese money to flow out of China. They are happy with having the world pay for half of their economic growth, through 30 years of Yuan manipulation, and are not looking to change that.

    Besides, you are contradicting yourself. If you already knew only a few foreign films are allowed a year in China, then what difference does it make if it's transformer 3 or anything else? Just because it does well world wide, does not mean at the current time, they are obligated to do it now!

    Lastly, to be honest with you, if you understand the Chinese people at all, then you should know they prefer Asian movies / Hong Kong / Taiwain / Korean / Japanese movies over all. It just shows you ignorance.

    Anyway, there is no sense dissecting every deal, bottom line, domestic movies need to make money, it's a huge industry and when the streets are filled with luxury western brands and BMW 7s and Mercedes, the least Chinese gov can do is to manually interfere and create some rooms for the film industry to thrive.

      Streets filled with western luxury brands? Where the heck are you living?

      You know right well that far more than 20 foreign movies are going to be listed on State licensed websites every year in China. You know this has nothing to do with protecting China's film industry... It is simply out of monetary greed. They surely are not worried about people preferring to see western movies, otherwise they would enforce anti-piracy, which they do not... even with those "luxury brands filling the streets".

        Ever heard of marketing muscles? When you are backed by Hollywood marketing, you can turn a mediocre movie into a money making machine, especially when it's a "box office" hit in the States. This is the exact reason why Chinese who prefer Asian movies could be lured into watching movies such as transformer 3 and trust me, American marketing is very good at persuading. (IMHO, they did themselves a favorite not to waste 100rmb to see Transformer3) If you think preference of general population leads to proportional profit level, think again.

        I live in the States of course. How else do I come to view my favorite tabloid news CNN without the great firewall? Have you visited China lately? Beijing, Shanghai, or any other major cities? I saw more BMWs, Mercedes than you can shake a stick at. Where the hell have you been?

        Lastly, of course it's about profit. Make domestic industry to thrive is all about money. What else could it possible mean? Make their own studios rich & make their own actors rich instead of Hollywood.

        @DarkDrew, I like to read tabloids, got a problem with that?

      The lockout of Western movies is only so money doesn't leave China. Transformers is already selling like gangbusters on the streets of China. With full approval by the Chinese government. Americans aren't upset that the Chinese government only allows a few movies from the West in each year. Or that Transformers isn't showing in China. Americans are upset that we're struggling as an economy and Transformers is selling well and bring some money back home.

      But the Chinese will all watch it for free. Thieves.

    I'm not defending the central government in China by any means but there are a myriad of things wrong with this article. First of all, Transformers 3 is easily the worst movie of the summer-why does anyone care if China let's it in. Two, 12 million by Chinese standards is no longer as much as you or anyone in the world thinks. Let's all remember for a minute they're the fastest growing economy in the world–so we can stop making them out to be a bunch of country bumpkins. Third, I'm SO sorry, seriously incredibly apologetic that China genuinely does not care about Hollywood and American cinema's profit. God forbid we don't get to make money off other countries. I'm sorry they're not interested in giving their consumers "options" and thus perpetuating the nauseating consumerism that has turned our own country into an economic and cultural joke. Forth, the low level of ticket sales for American movies should tell you something about how Chinese citizens also genuinely do not care for our poorly made movies sometimes. Fifth, how is the government supposed to control piracy in a country of 4.5 billion? Little hard to control if you ask me. And–maybe, just maybe they should be more concerned with thinks like environmentalism and hunger–just a thought.

    This article and the author not only come off as moronic but completely devoid of basic common sense and knowledge. Congratulations.

The Chinese government doesn't care what movies the Chinese watch, as long as Chinese money doesn't leave China.

    If China truly didn't want it's citizens watching Transformers it would stop the rampant piracy which it openly condones. Transformers is already on the streets of China–selling like gangbusters. But not a dime is going to Hollywood. Want a ten dollar iPhone knock off? Easy to find in China. Want a GM Spark that goes by a Chinese name and cost a fraction of the price? The QQ is China's knock off. GM designed it and poured all that R&D and then China robbed them blind.

    Truth of the matter is, China has had a game plan for a long time to bleed the wealth of the West by setting up a one way street. Money comes into China, but it doesn't leave. They steal everything they want or need. They manipulate the currency which is against the basic tenets of a free market. They should have never been admitted into the WTO.

    China is a nation of thieves.

        Actually MacArthur didn't want to NUKE China, he just wanted to keep pursuing the Chinese Army past the 54th parallel, and all the way to Peking, to give the Nationalists in Formosa the opportunity to mount a military liberation movement – which, given the respective technologies THEN available to the two sides, might well have been successful. Although he would have been militarily justified in doing so, under the terms of the U.N. mandate, Truman refused to allow it, because of his personal dislike of Chang Kai Shek, as well as his fear that MacArthur could use such a victory to spring a run for President!

    1) It's the 90th anniversary of the CCP, when else do you expect them to promote the party? It's like complaining that the US government encourages propaganda on July 4. It's called Nationalism. Nothing wrong with that. If you don't like it you dont have to see the movie.
    2) If the government really wanted to 'ban' foreign films, you wouldn't be able to find them in abundance at every single DVD shop across the country. There is really no shortage for both locals and expats alike. In fact, it's arguable that more locals would actually get exposed to foreign films that way because it's about 1/8 the price of a movie ticket for one person.
    3) Of course a movie celebrating nationalism is going to focus on the positives. You don't see any Fourth of July movies talk about the US' mistakes and scandals, do you? But that doesn't mean the Chinese government or its people are pretending those things didn't happen. It's just that they have acknowledged those were mistakes and they have moved on – not just the government, also the people. Ask Chinese citizens and they will say, "Cultural Revolution? What's there to talk about? It was a mistake, people suffered, the government has acknowledged that, the whole world knows. Why dwell on it. We are in a better place now, and we just want to look forward, not backwards." If the common man on the street who was a victim of the Cultural Revolution doesn't want to dwell on it, why are you?

    Time to start looking forward, not backwards America, because before you know it, you'll be way behind.

China has a perfectly good film industry of their own, and films from all across Asia are far more interesting than any American movie. The reason why in America there is only a handfull of foreign films that hit the big theatres, the same goes for Asian theatres where asian movies are predominat over hollywood or western movies, because of the fact asian movies are made in the mindset of asians, so thats why it is populair in that region, capiche?

    I agree with the author on one and only one thing: That Mao was at heart a romantic. All communists, all socialists, all Americans are at heart romantics with their ideals for a better society, each with a different interpretation of what such better society is. Only problem is... communism creates a huge low class, no middle class, and a very tiny, powerful and ruling elite. Socialism creates a huge low class, a tiny middle class and an even tinier upper class which happens to be extremely corrupt. And Americanism creates a huge lower class that can eat, attend school and watch cable TV, a relatively large middle class with plenty of perks, and an also relatively large upper class with a decent population of millionaires and billionaires. From the perspective of prosperity, happiness, and human rights... whoever still challenges our system needs to be immediately deported to China or Cuba... starting with that fat imbecile Michael Moore.

    In my experience it is much easier to find Foreign movies in China than in the US. It seems the US is a much more closed society to foreign films. American movies rely on simple plots with good graphics, usually bad and fgood guys. The graphics make the movie expensive. Chinese movies have complex plots requiring less graphics to compensate and therefore the movies are cheaper.

The seemly huge variety of studio brands you see at the beginning of films are all subsidiaries of these companies... as well as most tv channels. The CEO's, board members, and the people they are in cahoots with are driving what is beamed into our brains. Sadly most people are way too confident that "tv doesn't shouldn't and doesn't influence them". Subliminal baby.

    Doesn't Hollywood just send the message: Good guy heroes are white. unless you are will smith, denzel, jackie chan, or jet li. Every other minority is a bad guy or a side character peppered in so no one complains about the lack of diversity. Hollywood's done nothing but glorify western culture and made it seem superior vs every other culture in the world. that works well in america but it could piss people off elsewhere

I guarantee you that you'll make money, China may clone a vast majority of our products, but thats because the clones all suck, China can't produce the same quality that we here in America can, Not by a long shot.

    Much ado about nothing. Don't know what all the yapping here regarding censorship is about. Moral correctness notwithstanding, anyone who' s travelled in China would know there's no, I mean NO cersorship for any movies at all in China, unofficially. All you have to do is go to any one of the zillions of DVD shops in everyone Chinese city, village, you can find anything you want, albeit most are pirates. You can find the most obscure cult movies (you have not even heard of this – Luis Bunuel's Andalucian Dog), to the latest Hollywood, Bollywood, Hongkongwood, Koreanwood for RMB 10. I bought the entire Quentin Tarantino's collection there. Just making a point China is a much more open society than portrayed in the media. True, it's immoral, but then you can find the same things almost everywhere in Asia, India, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam......

        He would probably think he was in China. They do everything you are talking about. Yes in this case they are merely delayed. That is for their benefit. They do hold up trade – in violation of international treaties, they do regulate everything. But on the other hand I have to say I have been studying them for a long time now (I live in Suzhou China). These actions are not part of a subversive plot, but truly are a part of Chinese culture. Most of the governments behaviors that appear out of place with westerners appeal to a cultural logic with them. Face is very important to them. I would agree that shouldn't excuse them of their treaty responsibilities, but if you truly understand their culture and take it into account it becomes much harder to vilify them. And really – the shouldn't be, as a people they are mostly very welcoming and kind, not to mention forgiving. They have a long memory, they remember quite well how they were treated by the west in the past – grudges are also part of their culture. They remember well how they haven't always been treated equally or fairly.

    The truth is...we could kick China's azz in a land fight, in a sea fight, in an air fight and even a space fight. Hell...we could even kick their azz in a nuke fight. They would starve to death and also die from thirst.

    I think we need to focus on being friends. I have no issue with being best friends with a brother I know I could stomp into a greasy puddle, then put on my boots and walk that puddle dry...I am all about peace.

    The problem is the film industry & media in China is censored by the Communist Party. No film or documentary will be released in China that discusses human rights abuses in Tibet & Xinjiang, for example. No film will show Taiwan in good light as a separate state. And no film in China will be allowed that portrays Falun Gong in a positive light or discusses the violent crackdown by the Party against Falun Gong followers. People forget China is still a one-party dictatorship run by the Communist Party & that Party tolerates no challenge to its monoply on power.

Not showing movie rating – NO WAY, censorship – UNBELIEVABLE, producing propaganda – YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING. Wow – talk about having nothing new to add. China's "leadership" is all about one thing – staying in power by whatever means they can. They don't care about anything else and will do whatever they can to maintain their chock hold on the 1.3 billion. The little "gives" they let the common people have are just to keep them pacified. The common people have had so little for so long and are CONSTANTLY brainwashed they just don’t know any better. And don’t go thinking the “Arab Spring” will change into the “China Summer or Fall”. The one thing the Chinese do is know how to maintain control – they have been doing it for a long time. The recognized the one thing that could have really hurt them well before most people even had heard of it – that was the INTERNET. That’s why they have total control of all inbound/outbound traffic. Can’t have all that “free thought” flowing around without some control – that would be bad.

Second, what economic mental midget thought it a great idea to literally give China the means to surpass America? In the process destroying the middle-class of America. From simple face value it has all the appearance that America was torn down on purpose. Either that or the dumbest (EXPLETIVE) ers on the planet have and are running the West.

    Are you able to see the film in Beijing today? If you're not able to see it today, then it's censored. Doesn't matter when in the future it's going to be shown. For your argument on the Chinese film being shown in the US to be valid, the US will need to also block every foreign film in the country, replace it a propaganda film, AND claim that it's not being censored, but being "delayed".

    Do you run people over with tanks and say , "oops, that was a 'mistake'"?

    This shouldn't be a matter of the movies' merits. Any like censorship anywhere is fundamentally mendacious propaganda in the sense that it restricts the cognition of truth people can have. I mean, sure, Transformers may not withhold any particularly constructive veracity value, but its censorship is a small instance of a severe restriction of the a whole image that people in other countries are at liberty to enjoy. Such censorship is enabled to eliminate any contradictions or seeds of doubt against the CCP. If there is NOT P is suppressed, then there is only P for people to regard as "true." However P may not be entirely true, and anything that is not true–no matter its extremity–is false. That is why in the courts of the United States today, witnesses are to sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before giving their testimony.

    Just a minor's sentiment on this subject. Please feel free to point out any discrepancies in my logic. We're all learning, we're all here to read and think.

    Most American's don't see the hypocrisy in their views towards China. Yes China uses propoganda to affect and effect the belief of their supporters. They tell them over and over what to believe and what they should support etc. They tell them this so much that they feel comfortable hearing it from the Government. They like to hear a position that they already believe in and that they have heard repeatedly. If you were to question their belief, they would call you a traitor or worse. They would criticize your patriotism and you would end up supporting issues they you really don't understand because in the end you would be misinformed. Probably the most misinformed of all are those that only hear one side of a story.

    Do you see a parallel between the communist party and Fox News in terms of the way they get their message across?

      Try visiting America sometime and meeting and listening to some Americans. Over here, if you question the government, that's standard operating procedure. And if I want the Chinese viewpoint on something, I can look at any Chinese website I can find: the US government doesn't block them.

    After the success of Crouching Tiger, HIdden Dragon, the US movie industry placed a moratorium on Chinese movies in the US. Disney even bought the rights to one popular Chinese movie, and then refused to release it in the US because they planned to release a similar movie. It is very hypocritical to criticize China for doing the exact same thing the US movie industry has done for years.

    I have got to see those two Chinese movies that were mentioned. I have noticed that quite a few Chinese made films that I have seen recently were AMAZING! and thought provoking, AND they often have some kind of historical lesson, and ALWAYS are a homage to the "superiority" of the Chinese people. Movies that celebrate the successes, either real or just hyped up propaganda, serve to stimulate national pride and unity. It makes sense that the Chinese gov't would rather their people watch something that helps to kindle that flame of patriotism in their hearts as well as guide it by "educating" their minds. What the HELL does some JIVE ASS TRANSFORMERS have to give the people but a few quick thrills and hard ons for whatever hot bimbo stars in the one playing at the time. Besides the 1986 cartoon Transformers the Movie was WAAAY better than any of these joke rip-off abominationss that have come out in the past several years. I mean, the MAIN ACTOR's last name means "The Beef".

    It is ridiculous to see such a brainwashing movie from CCP to come into the U.S. Can you image that the Democrat or Republican in the U.S. make a similar movie and put it on in China? No! CCP will never allow that to happen in China, not even in your wildest dreams. China has taken biiiiiiig advantage of the freedom of speech we Americans enjoy here, look at some of the things we allow them to do in our country: this movie, the propaganda advertisement they put on the big screen at the New York's Time Square, the music Lang Lang played at the White House in front of Hu Jintao and President Obama ..... It's just so ridiculous! I thought those Chinese people won't be allowed to enter into the U.S. if they claim they are CCP members on the forms that they need to fill out and hand in when passing through the U.S. custom ... I thought communism was banned in our country.

    Precisely. The Disney move was a business decision. It was not censorship. It was not a mandate of the White House, nor was it an act of Congress. It was the move a a publicly traded company. This is quite different from a dictatorship prohibiting not only the distribution, but also the content and possession of a film.

    Any way, it's extremely stupid to disable the scoring of this particular movie in China. It only raises anger in the people which is the government fears most.

    Come on you can't see the propaganda you have in your own films, think how many films have you seen recently without a gun or some kind of violence like a hit in the face that doesn't even make blush the face of the actor or is seen as a male joke when we all know that a hit like that will put somebody at the hospital and a month of painful recovery.
    And if you think chinese have no money to go to the movies go and see the cia factbook it is open in the internet there you will see how many people is poor in China 15 millon in 1300 millons and in USA 15.8 millon in 300 millon understanding poor as somebody that earns less than 1.25 dollars per day

    Why is everyone so obsessed with the new Transformers movie, especially after the past 2 train wrecks he directed? Michael Bay is a sellout and an embarrassment to America. All the 80's children who rave on how this movie 'changed their lives' and apparently don't ever want to grow up because they don't want to face reality need to take a good look at their lives.

      It's not about who is the best. It's about Fareed is not telling the truth. Transformer is not banned in China, instead it's going to be in theater next week. Why are you so defensive? For me French films are the best films. I'm not a big fan of VFX and Hollywood films in which the plots follow the same formula. Sorry!
      If Fareed keeps making comments on China based not on the truth but on something else, he's going to lose credibility. It's kind of too obvious.

    Good for the Chinese! The American entertainment industry is wielded as an instrument of hegemony when unleashed abroad. For example, France, in order to receive aid via the Marshall plan, had to agree to show a certain number of American films. I'm American-raised and when I went back to my homeland during a summer in grade school, I was met by the vexing oddity of all of my cousins faithfully watching Friends every evening and listening to Lil' Kim. Go back to your shores Hollywood, I don't want you corrupting my culture.

      You have done a major service to the people of Corinth, may we all be awed at, wait a minute,, your a damn moron. I hope the people of Corinth hang you for making the entire people look as idiotic as you.

    I love how Chinese expats criticize American propaganda while spouting Chinese propaganda. You can take the Chinese person out of the PRC, but you can't take the Communist Chinese brainwashing out of their heads.

    A few things......

    1) I am in Shanghai right now, there's adds for the propoganda film but all those American movies are still playing here. Harry Potter is playing here, Transformers is playing here, "The First Avenger" (Captain America) comes out this weekend. In major cinemas i mean.

    So check your sources, because I can say first hand that you are wrong. Beijing maybe, since that city is much more govt controlled, but Shanghai and I;m sure Hong Kong have all those movies, on the same days, in major cinemas.

    To be fair, America uses the media to censor our products. Just look at Duke Nukem. We were told it was the most politicaly incorrect thing since the last time Mel Gibson got waisted. Yet last month it was 2nd in sales, led by the same companies "LA Noire", which also isn't to politicly correct.

    The difference is the Chinese seem to like being censored. Americans flip the finger and just buy it anyway :D

    No that the Casey trial is over, what else can we watch to fill in our misery? Chinese crap or crap in 3D? I certainly have an interest to watch T3 but only for the special effects, I'm tring to remember the previous transformers movies and all I remember is a yellow car. Maybe the cloroform has affected my brain.

    Lucky Chinese were spared losing $10 to see this horrible trash that was worse then the second movie.

    Proves how smart the Chinese are. They saw the previous MICHAEL BAY films and don't want to see more garbage. This one was worse then the last two (believe it or not). He makes money, because he does not do character development, or tell a coherent story. Instead , he blows things up. Wow ,what a genius! T3 was awful (worse then Pearl Harbor, Armagedeon (sp), The Island) But its all about money. And he slams you over the head with product placement, ie, Mercedes AMG and Lenovo. After I spend 10 bucks to see the movie, that's not enough, I have to be subjected to pseudo commercials?

    This has nothing to do with Chinese culture. China knows its people will just download/steal Transformers illegally online, so they block it to prevent Chinese money from buying something from outside of China.
