Not with a Death Star but with a movie ban. This is both ridiculous and sublime, and I have to thank China for it. How often do we get to see this rare combination?
China, which puts tariffs of American imports at over 200% and has for decades, is irate at the newly increased tariffs against their goods. They were increased by 10% in February to impel the Chinese to stop the flow of Fentanyl into the US. Instead, the Chinese increased their tariffs against us, as we’ve all heard by now, so Pres. Trump increased ours on them today to about 104%.
Prior to this latest increase taking effect, China threatened to ban all Hollywood productions if it did increase. Old movies, new movies, they may all be banned from being shown, I assume online as well as in theaters.
Since US movies shown in China grossed about $600 million last year for Hollywood, this could put a real dent in the income of all those movie makers and actors. So maybe they should focus on making really good, popular movies instead of pouring millions into Woke trash like the horrible parody of Snow White. You think?
The Chinese may just do us all a huge favor, because all that Woke tripe Hollywood’s been churning out has most of us staying out of the theaters. We love a good movie, it would sure be nice to see one again.
