Nobody has a free media market. China isn't unique in this. You think Top Gun, ww2/holocaust movies, etc are from a "free media" market? You think all the anti-japanese, anti-soviet, anti-chinese, anti-muslim, etc media during the past 100 years was from a "free media" market? The media is how you control the population. You think the elites don't control it?

Everyone accuses china of copying and stealing from the US. Looks like they are copying hollywood.
