Movie Impossible
Despite spending a month of filming in China and having China Film as a co-producer the PRC has decided to delay the opening of Paramount’s Mission Impossible 3 until a later date.
The delay is most likely due to a part of the film Chinese police is depicted as being incompetent. Until they can figure out a way to censure this part MI:3 will not be released.
Once again we see Chinese censorship, and even worse we see how when you partner with the PRC and give them a cut of the profits they will still screw you. When will US business learn that Red China is not a business partner but a serious adversary?

China is an interesting country, because I don't know whether there is a better way than censorship to control that big of a population spread out over such a huge area. I am sure there are better ways, any you can think of that won't affect the people negatively?
Aleks - they'll not realize it until the police show up at their outsourced distribution offices demanding the uncensored copies of the movies. Even then, they will comply, not realizing truly what they are losing.
Don - what the heck are you talking about? Control a population? Why do they need to be controlled? Who has the authority to be the "controller"? How does a portrayal of their police force as incompetent at all warrant censorship?
Rob,
It is fairly easy to reply to Don's question. Just point to India where more then a billion people seem to be in control, and they are a democracy on top of that.
What a surprise?
Good point, Aleks. Short, to the point, and minimum debate as it's an RLE (real life example).
