The article talks about how China recently passed a law that encourages films to "spread socialist core values." By doing so, China is restricting its film and entertainment industry not only in the amount of foreign films being allowed to be released there but their own companies' productions. In my perspective, the law passed bans film content that is seen as harmful to the "dignity, honour and interests of the country" is a form of censorship that keeps artists from disobeying authority; a way to keep people in line and from going against the government. I see this as a negative impact on the film industry in China since having more limits means less productions being released to the public and abroad as well.
