I watched a chop-sockey movie last night, Hero, starting Jet-Li.
It was a thinly disguised propaganda flick that said the Party had the right to kill any number of people in the name of “Our Land” and its enemies needed to recognize this fact.
I suppose the reason we still trade with ‘em is that the PRC killed 80 million of its own people, rather than invading someone else.

I'm as hostile to the Chinese regime as anyone, but I don't regard Hero as a propaganda film. It's a highly fictionalized and obviously fantasized historical epic, but it's generically patriotic, not communist.

I've got some good Chinese movies on my Freeper page that were banned by the commies or which somehow managed to slip through the cracks. The Blue Kite is an excellent film.
