What would China have to fear from North Korea? China dictates things to NK not the other way around.
- chrischen 12y agoThey probably don't have anything to fear from North Korea. That's beyond the point though. The point is that China can influence American pop culture to be more communist-friendly.
- msie 12y agoSo they are influencing American pop culture by pulling the movie? They could have decided not to carry the movie months ago when it was first being pitched for distribution. And I believe one of the leaked Sony emails show that a China distributor decided not to carry the movie. So there was ample opportunity to exert influence ahead of the movie's release.
- djloche 12y agoThis is not a China fearing NK. This is China using an unaffiliated hacking group to hurt a Japanese company. A small dose of payback for the conquests of the 20th century.
- msie 12y agoHow is this related to the Chinese owner of a theatre chain? They are hurting themselves with lost ticket sales. Are you linking the theatre owner to the hacking incident?
