China's airing of 'V for Vendetta' stuns viewers...


My favorite part of the article:

"Soon the Internet was crackling with quotes of "V for Vendetta's" famous line: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.""

Ironic ...

Wow someone had guts to air that movie there. Perhaps there is a coup in the works

haha, as they said on Yahoo! comments, finally workers in China have figured out what these Guy Fawkes mask mean

It sounds more like they wanted to air a "popular" movie so they aired a "popular" movie. Either that or they really thought the movie applies to Western governments and not theirs because they are lead by the people.

China can easily spin this: "Look how unhappy the people of western nations are!"
