What does "chinese censors" mean?

Chinese cinema censorship is a strict, state-controlled process overseen by the China Film Administration (under the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party) and related bodies like the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA). All films, domestic, foreign, or co-productions must undergo pre-release review and approval, with no age-rating system; content is either passed as suitable for all audiences or rejected/banned outright, often requiring edits to remove elements deemed harmful. Prohibited topics include anything that could undermine national unity, portray China negatively, challenge Communist Party ideology, depict excessive violence/sexuality/superstition, distort history, or touch on sensitive issues like politics, ethnicity, religion, Taiwan, or foreign relations.

What does "chinese censors" mean?

In Russia it's worse. They can (and did) cancel completely a movie if there's a suspicion that one of the characters is homosexual. They exclude the scenes with the kisses between people of the same gender. They prohibit the movies that ridicule Russian past or present government.

So basically the Chinese audience will believe Joe Jackson was like Mother Teresa then

They will probably censor Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Taiwan.

A little recap of the "perfect" production of Bohemian Rhapsody:

Bohemian Rhapsody was to feature Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury. In July 2013, Baron Cohen left the project due to creative differences. Allegedly, he had wanted a "gritty R-rated tell-all" focused on Mercury, while Queen hoped for a PG-rated film about the band.

Dexter Fletcher was selected as the film's director but removed himself from the project the following year. Bryan Singer was announced as the director.

On 4 December 2017, Bryan Singer was fired as director, with about two weeks of scheduled principal photography remaining, Dexter Fletcher was announced as Singer's replacement.



Result: 900+ mln box office, 4 Oscars and 500% growth of interest in Queen's music all around the world.
