while China goes gaga over the the Sex and the Zen in 3d, seems they don't like time travelling
well I see their point but heck don't ruin the creative freedom of those producers, directors and the script writers.
China Decides to Ban Time Travel
In China… well, in China, many weird things happen. The Chinese government, in another strange episode, has decided to ban time travel. Well, at least when it comes to television shows and movies.
With the way things are run, the state controls and monitors everything shown on your television or your computer. So yeah, China can randomly go back in time and say Marty McFly never existed. Scary, huh? The Doc would be furious.
Fortunately, that's not what they're saying. But somehow the government has taken a sudden disliking to the idea of distorting certain historical events, things and people. (Cough.)
The idea of time-travel has soared in popularity recently, and maybe the authorities have just gotten sick of it. Common themes revolve around protagonists going back to ancient times. Even worse than just being an annoyance, some people fear a real disrespect for China's history.
The decision was made earlier this month, with the country's State Administration for Radio, Film & Television stating that "The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore."
What's wrong with these shows? They “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”
