All Movie Theaters in China Must Now Screen Propaganda Films at Least Twice a Week
Officials in China have ordered theaters to screen propaganda movies for the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party s founding.
A new report announced that Chinese movie theaters are being ordered to show propaganda movies, per a new order by authorities in the country. This is significant for several reasons, not the least of which being that China is now right there with the U.S. as one of the biggest moviegoing markets in the world. China even overtook the U.S. at the box office in 2020. But now, as moviegoing has returned to normal, Chinese officials are using the popularity of theaters to showcase propaganda.
