Top Gun, the classic movie from the 1980s, is getting a remake in Hollywood but with certain changes to please the Chinese Communist market. The Free Beacon reports:
The Paramount film studio’s recent decision to censor portions of its remake of the classic film Top Gun to appease Chinese Communist Party propaganda rules is the clearest sign to date that “Hollywood is afraid to stand up for free speech,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) told the Washington Free Beacon.
Following its premiere last week at the Comic-Con 2019 gathering, fans on the internet quickly found that the iconic jacket worn by lead actor Tom Cruise in the film had been altered from its original look to remove two patches displaying the Japanese and Taiwanese flags. It was soon pointed out these patches were altered in order to appease the Chinese Communist Party and ensure the film can be run in the lucrative, but highly censored, market.
“There’s a new Top Gun movie coming out. And [Cruise’s character] Maverick is wearing the same leather jacket—only this time it’s Communist Party of China-approved, so the Japanese and Taiwanese flag patches are gone,” Mark MacKinnon, a senior international correspondent for the Globe and Mail, wrote in a tweet that has since garnered thousands of retweets and comments.

Subsequent reports in the Hollywood press indicate that the Chinese internet giant Tencent co-financed the Top Gun remake along with Paramount, a further indication that the film was changed in order to appease the Communist Party.
Hollywood’s longtime relationship with Communism is resurfacing. Is China’s influence a national security problem?
Not so sure about commies, since I doubt most Hollywood types even understand what communism is. Rather, I would say self-absorbed imbeciles dominate Hollywood. And they’re all pretty much irrelevant but for an occasional good movie that somehow finds its way out of La La Land.
NWO/Globalist – are in bed with china, control Hollywood and all MSM
Have You Noticed all movies have china saving US: Day After, Martian, etc.
Have You Noticed Google sides with Chinese Military over US Militrary
Why
China promotes everything they want:
Depopulation, Attack on Religion, Attack on US (IP theft is huge), Communist
According to people who understand deep state motives:
China takes control of Pacific Rim,
US combines with South/North American becomes a second rate nation
EU/Russia same end goal 2nd rate nation
Welcome to the Great Awakening
Trump is in returning US back to We the People.
In my view, the fact they are taking money from the Chinese tells me the movie biz in need of funding and not getting it from domestic sources. Perhaps if the made better movies, movies with better appeal to the masses, they would need funding from foreign sources.
Hollywood is still owned, Controlled and Operated By Jews, and they will take money from anyone or anybody, And after the Hollywood Pedo ring was exposed, Like Robert De Nero & Co. a lot of people are Boycotting their Movies.
Jews are honorable people nothing like Antifa members or Democrat/Socialists ! Why is it people take such strange and unexplainable positions about someones religion ?
Because they identify with Omar (if that’s her real name). These kind of people are full of hate toward anyone who does not agree with them. I am a Christian and I side with the Jewish people when it comes to others trying to defame the Jews.
The reason is answered if you click on the picture. Tencent (China’s top tech company) has a movie division that is a major producer of the movie.
Don’t forget, since Tencent co-financed the flick, 50% of the proceeds go directly overseas.
Well, I absolutely will jot be going to see that movie. I also refuse to see any movie for the very fact that the actors are all Hollywood Whores that live in the State of Californication and almost all of them are corrupt and hate Mr. Trump. They do not deserve my money, period! They can all go to Hell along with those Chinese infiltrators whom are trying to take over all of our business. I just wish I could get my hands on them. I’ll show them!
i agree
Wow, so Hollywood liberals only fain righteous indignation. The truth is that the only thing they care about is the bottom line.
