China is reportedly considering banning the import of U.S. films as a retaliatory measure against U.S. tariffs. Half the country won’t care.
After Trump threatened to increase tariffs on China this week, Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce said it would ‘fight to the end.’ Two influential Chinese bloggers previewed actions that Xi Jinping’s government was considering, including a ban on Hollywood movies.
The prospect of losing access to China’s colossal film market comes as U.S. studios have tried to dig out of financial holes created by debt, the COVID-19 pandemic, Hollywood labor strikes, and overspending during the streaming wars. That’s unfortunate, but they should make better movies.
This potential ban could have significant financial implications for the American film industry, which has relied on the Chinese market for a substantial portion of its revenue.
We’d get Chinese Communist party propaganda out of Hollywood. No downside there.
The movies they’ve been showing lately are disgusting, boring, or both. Many are woke. They dumb down the youth.
All those people possibly losing jobs is not what we want, but Hollywood is damaging our culture.
That’s interesting, considering China owns majority stakes in most of the Hollywood production companies. https://t.co/3lRSa3OjfY

Let’s see how far they go with their confusion and newfound hatred against China after kissing Chi-Com ass for decades and this happening. Haaa haaaaaaaa hollywood nonces, no one likes you people!
Hollywood has been on the skids ever since Covid. If you watch the new streaming movies on certain apps you see former top movie stars doing not only low budget movies, but TV and commercials. As a lifelong movie fan who can’t/won’t go to a theater anymore, I watch mainly streaming movies, and most of them are BAD. YouRube’s policy of allowing third party individual filming of theater movies and posting them there, is further eroding the profits of HOllywood. I miss the big time Marvel blockbusters, but elite crybabies in HW have shamed these producers into oblivion. I’m guessing most of these YOURUBE pirated movies come from Asian countries, further destroying HW movies.
If it wasn’t for Turner Classic Movies I would never watch anything produced by Hollywood, whose best era was the pre-television years of 1938-1953.
I heard Hollyweird is so mad they are producing a new block buster “Godzilla,Rodan and King Kong, dine on China”
SCREW chiner and hollyWEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!
Punish away… They say if you’re gonna threaten somebody carry a big stick, not a wet noodle. It’s like saying your gonna beat up your best friend because a big guy kicked your a$$.
