China bans Tomb Raider sequel

BBC


The second Tomb Raider film, starring actress Angelina Jolie, has been banned in China because it portrays the country "negatively", authorities said.

...The Chinese also complained the film had made the country appear to have no government and run by secret societies.

"The movie does not understand Chinese culture. It does not understand China's security situation. In there cannot be secret societies," the official said.
