"Nobody loses" - you feel it's healthy that the government dictates what's playing in cinemas? The fact that it's Avatar just tells you about the odds for a film that actually has some value, eg criticism of the ruling party.
- maxklein 17y agoThat's how the chinese system works. It's a communist country with a communist party and a controlled economy: it's not a suprise if this happens. If you don't like such a system that's fine, protest the system, but don't protest a tiny part of the system. If you don't want communism, then say that, but don't say "Avatar should be allowed to make as much profit as it wants, but I don't care about the system". Do you understand the distinction here?
- eru 17y agoWhich definition of communism are you using?
- nir 17y ago>don't say "Avatar should be allowed to make as much profit as it wants, but I don't care about the system" I won't. And IIRC, I haven't.. I understand your point on China's nature, I was wondering about the "nobody loses" conclusion.
