Strongly against "Red Dawn filmmakers to "kowtow" to the Chinese authority
The film makers of "Red Dawn" changed the enemy from China to North Korea because they do not want to anger the Chinese regime. I want to see a movie about Chinese invasion of America not a North Korea invation, everybody knows that North Korea invading is just ridiculous. I'm sure many people in China or elsewere would also agree, I guess the American filmakers do not they film to be banned by China so they changed the script to please them but I predict they shall lose more audience because of a stupid plot. I wonder if the movie company serves the general audience or serves the Chinese government? This is entertainment business not politics, I hope they realise they are making a very big mistake.
China taking over the US is not an invasion, its a repossession.
We'll be happy to sell Alaska and Florida to pay our debt to the Chinese's government.

That makes sense as isn't California already Communistan? At least that seems to be opinion of many already.
We already have a thread:

I think the OP wants to discuss the political aspect of things, not the cinema side of things.
LOL, just some friday ribbing.
omg poor chinese people,they will weep so much if they see a movie where they are the bad guys,despite them showing the usa in a similiar light http://newsstream.blogs.cnn.com/2011...ican-soldiers/ but yeah lets hope theyr feelings arent hurt....
From Tropical_ulcer's linkAh, so Red Dawn 2012 is the adaptation of Homefront ! I see why it'll fail !Curiously, there is one game that thought about using the Chinese as antagonists... and chose not to. "Homefront" tells the story of an Asian nation invading the United States: North Korea.
So? How many American games (which also sell globally including China/Hong Kong) depict us killing Chinese soldiers? Or Russians, Germans, Middle Eastern etc. It's a game. Of course the US would be a candidate to be the enemy of China in a Chinese game. We're one of the few countries which is their military equal.
On original topic, yeah its sh!t. The filmmakers are basically validating that the Chinese government can bully or intimidate the media of the US not to show China in a bad light.
I think china has a FPS shooter they made not too long ago in which the enemy was our nation, the US. not sure what the game was called though.
If China gets butthurt it will unleash the rage of a million chicoms on the world. Do you really want that?
because people will watch Red Dawn for it's convincing plot.
