Right. You’re proving my point. It’s financially driven. How you equate that to appeasing communist masters is beyond me.
You are surprised that Hollywood would like to have good relations with such a large audience?
Why does this surprise you, bud?

It's complicated.

So you're not sure whether Taiwan is a sovereign nation because the US State Department can't actually say so on its official website for fear of triggering a war with China? Because that's what would happen if Taiwan declared its own independence, right?

The communist Chinese government must be appeased and its head dictator, Winnie the Pooh must be happy with everything if Hollywood is to make money in the domestic Chinese market. If they're not, the whole thing can be shut down by the government at the drop of a hat. That's not just about money. Weird that you think it is.

China needs us just as much as we need them
We ensure this by spending more on defense than any 3 countries combined
We ensure this by keeping the American dollar a lucrative national currency
A business relationship is just that; a business relationship
Nothing in this video makes our people anymore communist. It makes John cena a whore (he’s an actor, duh)

You still fail to see the much larger picture here. When even some of the most hardcore liberals start deciding it's time to stop sucking Xi Jinping's dick it's probably time for you to start reassessing your own position on them.

Why would I concern myself with how Western Asia is treating its citizens?
Why are you concerned with how China is treating its citizens?
We don’t have enough problems already?
Aren’t you the same people that want a wall built to block another culture from entering the country?
Yet, you are sad about Chinas treatment of Taiwan
Okeeey guy
The communist boogeyman isn’t going to hurt you as long as we spend a kajillion dollars on defense. Please rest easy at night and stop worrying about China.
We do business with that regime so we should have a say on the security of our allies as well as our corporations benefiting from slave labor. You cover for them to avoid losing this argument but certainly you can't be so obtuse as to not realize that if we turn a blind eye that one day they'll be on our doorstep demanding subservience.
