Usually, they only censor the explicit content. But this is the first time that AI tools were used to directly alter the content of the original film.
By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.

Why do you think wage growth is not important? Why do you think China is having a serious consumption and deflation problem…. if it has nothing to do with wage growth? People are not consuming because of the economic downturn and uncertainty. Income does not justify the spending.
I think it can be said to be less important given the much larger contradictions facing China. Not that wages are just unimportant in themselves.
I agree that the problem of wage growth and an non-export economy are intermingled, of course. I just think that this is a pretty easily solvable problem and CPC under Xi Jinping is aware of that. But raising wages is in contradiction right now to competing with the US on a global stage. Being an export economy is still the correct strategic choice until China is no longer massively out-accelerating the US on the global stage.
