So you can't badmouth China or they ban you and your work.

The enemy in the 2012 remake of Red Dawn was changed from China to North Korea, because otherwise the film wouldn't have been allowed in China. And this is not the only such example. The new Iron Man movie, it turns out, won't use a Chinese actor for the villain known as Mandarin, because it would get the movie banned in China. 

In short: China's censorship tactics are dictating what we Americans get to see. 

Why, exactly, do we trade with these guys again? Why do we let them run all over us?
