The news of the Sino -US balloon incident in the past week has buried a news about the US Defense Authorization Act of 2023.
The US media disclosed this week that there is a clause in the National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Biden in December last year to restrict the US government's use of funds for films that cooperate with the Chinese government to modify or delete content in order to enter the Chinese market.Including film and television projects that seek pre -approval content from the Chinese government.
This means that the Hollywood Studio and Chinese official exchanges will be more strictly reviewed by the US government.In the future, fewer and fewer American film and television works can successfully pass the official review of China and be released in the Chinese market.
Facing China's strict film censorship, it is a common practice for American film manufacturers to enter the Chinese market to modify film content.Defending soldiers: In the preview of Lone Ranger in 2019, the Taiwanese flag and the Japanese flag on Tom Cruise's coat were covered; it was not until the Chinese filmmaker Tencent Films withdrew from this project.Enter Chinese market.
Dr. Strange, Marvel Film in 2016, also changed the original "Ancient One" role in the original comic book because he was worried about anger China.
The U.S. government provides assistance to film and television projects, including providing military equipment as shooting purposes, and providing technical consultation to defend soldiers: Lone Ranger is one of the films aid for the US government.
The issue of Chinese film review is not the first time that it has become the focus of American politics.In 2020, then US Secretary of State Pompeo and then US Minister of Justice Balt, who had criticized the Hollywood to cooperate with the Chinese government to review and modify the film content; Balta said that it was a "Propaganda Coup" for the CCP.
In 2020, Ted Cruz, a Republican member of the United States, also proposed a bill, stating that any project may agree that any project can be agreed that the Chinese government or the Chinese Communist Party can not be agreed or pre -due to the Chinese government or the CCP.Judgment China's request and modify the content.
This proposal was not adopted at the time, but in the context of the rapid heating of the United States' anti -China emotions, similar content has now received the support of the Republican and Democratic Party, and has been included in the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.
The number of American films imported by China has reduced half of the past three years. This trend once caused the discussion of the abroad of the Sino -US film market and narrowing the narrowing of the Sino -US film market and narrowing the narrowing channels of private cultural exchanges between China and the United States.
Some analysts believe that only 15 American films were allowed to enter the Chinese market last year. In addition, there are only a few movies that need to seek assistance in the US Department of Defense. The impact of the bill on American film manufacturers will not be too great.However, the U.S. government expands the Sino -US arena to the field of film and television culture, and the trend of Sino -US steps towards cultural decoupling is still worthy of vigilance.
Sino -US strategic competition is heating up, the ideological differences are intensified, and factors such as the significant reduction of personnel during the epidemic have led to the rapid heating of the people's opposition from the people of the two countries.The farther the push, the formation of a vicious circle of self -strengthening.How China and the United States strengthen the mutual understanding of the people, so as to alleviate the atmosphere of public opinion is vital to improving the relationship between the two countries.
China and the United States currently need more folk exchanges, including cultural exchanges and personnel. The trend of cultural decoupling will only increase the civilization between the two sides and exacerbate the current trend of public opinion between the two countries.
Last week, the balloon incident that detonated the fire of Sino -US public opinion highlight that Sino -US relations have been seriously restrained by the anti -China and anti -American public opinion atmosphere of the two countries.The Bayeng government, who had not shot down the balloon on the grounds of the safety of ground personnel, sent a fighter aircraft to shock the balloon on February 4; Chinese public opinion boiled the balloon in the United States. At the beginning, the Chinese government's posture of "regret" also became tough.The warning will reserve the right to make further reactions.
Many scholars believe that neither the Bayeng government and Beijing are unwilling to let the balloon incident upgrade, destroying the bilateral relations slightly eased after the first meeting of the US dollar in November, but the two sides have to respond to the concerns of domestic public opinion;The position has further touched the other party's sensitive nerves and promoted the heating of public opinion.Such a vicious circle will make it more and more difficult for the Sino -US government to end calmly for the incident.
Fang Ning, a researcher at the Institute of Political Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, judged at the 2021 Global Times Annual Conference. China and the United States may explode at a random point; he described Sino -US relations like "children's fight"I only know that the overall conflict will go, but how to fight it depends on how to do it.
The balloon incident seems to confirm his predictions at the time. As the Presidential election approaches, the atmosphere of public opinion in the United States will inevitably become more sensitive, and the risk of confrontation between China and the United States will increase significantly due to other random events.As for how to avoid this situation, the key is to strengthen the communication and mutual understanding of the people, thereby avoiding the anti -China emotions easily incite.
