A Department of Defense document reportedly reveals that the agency has updated its policy to refuse to advise any movie that will be altered for Chinese censors.

I'm linking the article but the actual dunk is on redditors who see this and cheer, completely ignoring that this is an extension of how much power/influence the American military has over hollywood film. Want to film anything that might have the military in it? You gotta play ball babyyyy! Ever notice how weirdly patriotic and jingoistic almost every film that features a tank is? They played ball babbyyyy!!!

there was a good comment on reddit at least though https://old.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/14o3xt8/defense_department_declares_it_wont_work_with/jqbfo50/

    I remember transformers 4 being pandering to china.....for showing chinese authorities being competent. Mind this is a series where the US military managed to kill DECEPTICONS without Autobots help. Transformers series as whole are dumb action movies with a lot of yikes and awooga moments, but potraying China as normal isnt a problem.
