Google calls Chinese government a totalitarian regime.
India not a totalitarian regime like China: Google - Hindustan Times
As an American, the only real complaint I have with the PRC government is that it does not trust its own people to have basic freedoms, and that it does not help create human rights and stability in the world in general. I have no doubt that the Chinese people will develop a government that is worthy of its people within another two generations, if not sooner.
"Lust, Caution" actress banned in China
HONG KONG (Hollywood Reporter) - "Lust, Caution" star Tang Wei has been banned in the Chinese media because of the sexual nature of her performance in director Ang Lee's steamy drama, according to local press reports.
An internal memo from China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) was reportedly sent to all television stations and print media in China on Thursday night, stating that a new television commercial starring Tang for skin care brand Pond's was to cease broadcast immediately. All print ads and feature content using the actress also were to be pulled. The memo gave no reason for the ban.
..
The banning of a film, along with its cast and crew, months after release is not uncommon in China. In early January, SARFT banned the producers of the film "Lost in Beijing" for two years and ordered the film's theatrical and home video release to be recalled. The "Lost" cinematic release had been delayed because of sexual content, which was ultimately cut from both the theatrical and home video editions.

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? Fortunately, that’s not what they’re saying.
Somehow, though, 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 it seems like the authorities have just gotten sick of it. Common themes revolve around protagonists going back to ancient times, with script writers often taking liberties with plots and events. 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.”

the Chinese government also banned a bunch of talent contest shows like Super Girl, because the show picked its winning contestants by viewer votes by phone and that deemed too much like a democratic election, a big no no in totalitarian China.

if you put maps like this how the fcuk will your soft power work..?
I am just amazed on how people can link anything to "democratic election", and what's even more amazing is there are actual retards buying into this.
China’s ‘Super Girl’ talent show canceled for being too democratic?
By Sarah Anne Hughes
“Super Girl,” which premiere in 2004, allowed viewers to vote for their favorite singer through text messages and phone polls. Kathrin Hill of the Financial Times reports that this “Western-style” of voting was seen as “subversive” by some officials.
No voting please, we’re Chinese
The government shuts down a TV show in which viewers vote for the winner
“Happy Girl” trimmed its sails by restricting voting mainly to a studio audience. But there were other issues that must have annoyed the party as well: the massive audiences drawn by talent shows, compared with the staid programming of the official China Central Television; the unconventional appearance of some of the contestants (this year’s “Happy Girl” winner looked rather boyish); and the participants’ unscripted emotional outbursts.

In other word, have voting of any kind in the show and you are banned.

Look, on a serious note, China is a great nation with a very intelligent and hard-working people. The world will benefit tremendously from Chinese soft power, if it arrives in a benevolent fashion. As an American, the only real complaint I have with the PRC government is that it does not trust its own people to have basic freedoms, and that it does not help create human rights and stability in the world in general. I have no doubt that the Chinese people will develop a government that is worthy of its people within another two generations, if not sooner.
