Bravely, Brave Sir Robin

Hollywood learns to like the leash that stretches across the Pacific Ocean:

The American movie industry has quietly agreed to become part of the Chinese Information War effort. Increasingly over the past decade U.S. film companies have agreed to not only censor their films before they are shown in China, but to edit scripts for the original versions of films so as to conform to the Chinese view of how China should be portrayed.

This is why I never saw the remake of Red Dawn. But Hollywood welcomes their new Chinese overlords. Do they get script credit from now on?
