005 The Chinese Situation

It's been projected that the Chinese box office will outpace Hollywood as the global box office leader as soon as 2020.  Whether or not this happens, Hollywood studios are already adapting the story's they tell so as to not offend Chinese censors and thus gain access to over a billion potential movie-goers.  Hollywood studios are actively avoiding the three "T's" (Tibet, Taiwan and Tiananmen) as well as  showing any Chinese Government or Military official in a negative light.  Other films are altering their story, editing, casting and/or product placement: Looper, Skyfall, Mission: Impossible III, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Pixels, Red Dawn, Doctor Strange, Iron Man III, World War Z, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Captain America: Civil War, Independence Day: Resurgence, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Last Jedi.
