Not really an official statement! However if this is true Pierce Brosnan just lost this film potentially $ 200 mill.

Hopefully Pierce Brosnan will be punished for this debacle and cancelled.

I think most of these "banned in China" stuff is really just movie promotion. I read before China has regulations of foreign movie production companies can not take more than 25% of box office revenue, which is average, but US comic book movies routinely demand more than that. Some Hollywood studios are unwilling to accept that. I think that is why most Marvel films are not shown in China these days, but you often hear in mainstream media that those movies are banned in China.

I think using social media to create these fake narratives then mainstream media quoting them is one of the most common ways mainstream media deliver fake news these days.

It's a puppet show of sorts.

People are jerks. That's literally all I get from that article. The Chinese Government is evil too and will put their people in jail if they choose to have a religion. Yet this is the country so many people want to rely on because too many of my fellow Americans are too lazy to work in a factory!
