How does censorship impede the production and distribution of animated movies more than live action????

Can someone explain it like I am an anglo to me?

    It doesn’t they just needed to add a qualifier of some kind so that it didn’t look like they were praising China or Chinese filmmakers

    The Economist is probably just upset that the IP of its owners' capitalist drinking buddies isn't as lucrative in China as it is in the west.

    they're reminding you china is a totalitarian country with censors which affects the creation of movies and what movies people are allowed to enjoy. on the subject of chinese animated films I would like to see them move further away from japanese style animation and return more to the stuff they had in the 60s like havoc in heaven. its time for china's media industry to stand on its own two feet
