That would actually be a net positive as films wouldn't be censored to appease daddy China.
Also films would have lower budgets.
- Better if they weren’t censored to appease daddy MIC
  
  Mic?
  
  Agreed lol
- Thank goodness they're taking the politics out of movies!
  Takes a billion dollars to portray the US military as really cool and badass
  
  False dichotomy. Not being censored by China doesn't mean being funded/influenced by the US.
- Just in time to be censored to appease chief cheeto
- Imagine if we had gotten a storm trooper turned Jedi instead of yet another desert orphan for the star wars sequels, like all the promotional materials before the first movie seemed to hint at.
  
  Kyle Katarn was a better story than anything Disney can do
- Also as hollywood gets dunked upon, other film industries have a chance of growth.

Dude, just pirate them and put them in the theaters. Or shit, make them the friday night movie on TV broadcast.
- That would be hilarious.

They can have my views too. I ain’t watching shit from America if I can help it.

Pirate them. Steal your cake and eat it too.
- I like this idea even better. China pirates them, plays them in theatres, takes the money generated from them anyways, lol

Finally American superheroes will no longer need to go to Shanghai and work with a heroic PLA special agent to save the world.
- Yup they can just collab with the heroic and completely unproblematic CIA and our boys in blue
  
  I think you mean All American Heroes in Blue
- a heroic PLA special agent
  Is there a specific movie where this happens because I would like to watch it?
