In the 404 Files podcast (404\u6863\u6848\u9986<\/a>), CDT Chinese tells multimedia stories of censorship and circumvention in China. The following is a translation of the transcript of Episode 36<\/strong><\/a>, released on October 27, a deep dive into why films get pulled from the entertainment rating platform Douban. This week, the Cyberspace Administration hit Douban with a 1.5 million yuan fine for “unlawful release of information<\/a>,” following a 9 million yuan fine last month. Douban has suspended its comment function until December 17, a measure that all but eviscerates the social media platform that was designed for users to talk about film, books, and music.

Welcome to the 404 Files. Come scale the Great Firewall with us.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re talking about one of the latest additions to CDT\u2019s 404 Archive: an article that looks at 30 films removed from Douban.<\/p>\n

Douban is an online platform where the high and low brow meet to rate and talk about books, movies, and music. It is the<\/em> bellwether for a film\u2019s popularity. But ever since the government\u2019s increasingly pervasive censorship system trained itself on Douban, scores of movies with high ratings have been removed and banned from the site.<\/p>\n

The 404 Archive post includes 30 films that have been taken down from Douban. But why were they censored? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Number One: Political Sensitivities Are Paramount<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most representative of the Chinese films taken down is \u201cSummer Palace,\u201d directed by Lou Ye. It\u2019s a story of confusion and passion shared by two university sweethearts at the end of the 80s, and of their disillusionment when they join the adult world. \u201cSummer Palace\u201d was banned, and cannot even be mentioned, because it portrays the Tiananmen protests, including scenes of martial law troops opening fire on civilians. The June 4 incident is the Achilles\u2019 heel of the Chinese Communist Party, an event that calls into question its very legitimacy.<\/p>\n

Also on the list are many films from Hong Kong. For example, in \u201cThe Mobfathers,\u201d starring Anthony Wong and Chapman To, a gangland election serves as an allegory for the murky world of politics. In real life, Wong and To are staunch defenders of Hong Kong\u2019s freedoms, and have repeatedly criticized the machinations of the Party-backed government of Hong Kong. In return their films are banned, and the actors are frequently attacked by official media and by little pinks for \u201chumiliating China.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2015 film \u201cTen Years\u201d imagines a dystopian Hong Kong in 2025 ruled with an iron-fist. With the erosion of democratic institutions following the passage of the National Security Law, the film is closer to reality than you would think. On August 24, the Hong Kong government announced revisions to the Film Censorship Ordinance that would allow a film\u2019s permit to be revoked if officials feel it is harmful to\u00a0 national security.\u00a0 Hong Kong was once the movie capital of Asia, but today it seems that just about anything could be censored. It\u2019s no surprise that \u201cTen Years\u201d was banned.<\/p>\n

Number Two: Don\u2019t Even Mention Democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from \u201cnational security\u201d concerns, anything the Party sees as a \u201chostile element,\u201d like\u00a0 democracy or freedom, must be completely rooted out. Foreign films are no exception. Take \u201cThe Lady,\u201d a biopic about the democracy movement in Myanmar, and the Korean films \u201cA Taxi Driver\u201d and \u201cExcavator,\u201d both about the Gwangju Uprising which started the downfall of the dictatorship and catalyzed the democracy movement. Stories of resistance are what the authorities dread, and so are\u00a0 quickly\u00a0 banned from streaming and discussion.<\/p>\n

[“Taxi Driver” was target of a directive published by CDT in October 2017<\/a>, which ordered the deletion of “all introductions, online encyclopedia entries, film reviews, recommendations, and other articles” related to it.]<\/p>\n

Then there’s the curious case of \u201cV for Vendetta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hear what Youtube critic \u201cDr. Film Decoder\u201d (@\u7535\u5f71\u7206\u535a\u58eb) has to say about it:<\/p>\n

Simply put, \u201cV for Vendetta\u201d tells the tale of a revolutionary who violently topples a dictatorship, a recurring theme in human history and in film. The revolutionary anarchist \u201cV\u201d breaks the state\u2019s monopoly on ideology, reveals the ruling class for the hypocrites that they are, and overturns their dictatorship through violent revolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, the film describes a future Britain where the spark of revolution is lit by the masses. The theme of resistance permeates the film, embodied the oft-quoted line, “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” So it was a shock to many when, on December 14, 2012, the film was aired, uncut, on CCTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rights defender Hu Jia once tweeted:<\/p>\n

This movie has it all: Dictators, prisons, secret police, media control, rebellion, elimination of \u201cheretics,\u201d panic, escape, propaganda, conquering fear, resistance and overthrowing tyrants. It\u2019s just like the relationship between China\u2019s dictators and its people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the time, some thought that CCTV\u2019s airing of \u201cV for Vendetta\u201d was a positive signal from the new administration under Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang. But as political scientist Liu Shan-ying told Taiwan’s Central News Agency<\/a>, the decision to show the film in its entirety\u00a0 was likely made within CCTV itself:<\/p>\n

Every media outlet is aware of the ceiling, and they usually keep their heads down to avoid hitting it. But, sometimes, there are a brave few among us who reach up to that ceiling and dare to speak out against censorship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the noose of censorship tightens, \u201cV for Vendetta\u201d was finally taken down from\u00a0 China\u2019s streaming platforms on August 15, 2020, and its page on Douban was deleted.<\/p>\n

Number Three: The Sanctity of the Official Narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the two censorship principles we\u2019ve just described, Party officials have a few other red lines. For example, the Korean historical films \u201cThe Great Battle\u201d and \u201cOnce Upon a Time on a Battlefield\u201d come up against a thorny point of contention between China and Korea: the sovereignty of the kingdom of Goguryeo<\/a>. Because these films do not mesh with the Party\u2019s official narrative, they were the target of nationalist attacks, and eventually taken down.<\/p>\n

There are also\u00a0 films about defectors from North Korea, such as \u201cCrossing,\u201d that have made it onto the ban list. For ideological and geopolitical reasons, China is always obsessive about North Korea, trying not to rock the political boat. China\u2019s censors must really be exhausted: not only do they work around the clock to block criticism of the Party, they also bend over backwards to protect the glorious image of their little brother next door.<\/p>\n

Also, the Censors Dream of a Unified Ratings System<\/strong><\/p>\n

These 30 films are a shadow of the real number that have been banned. CDT has collected a massive amount of sensitive words and removal orders related to film censorship in our Sensitive Words<\/a> and 404 Archive<\/a> series. In a future episode, we\u2019ll break down 330 films and videos removed from LeTV, which is still only a fraction of the total taken down.<\/p>\n

As one Zhihu user<\/a> said:<\/p>\n

There will come a day when, without rhyme or reason, that web page won\u2019t open, that torrent will be removed, that cloud storage account will be shut down, that social media account will simply vanish. You\u2019ll try in vain to refresh the page of that TV show, but it simply won\u2019t load. No explanation, no answers. You won\u2019t even know who to fight against.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An industry source has told BBC Chinese<\/a> that over the past few years, China\u2019s censorship regime has grown even stricter, with everything from scripting to permits to distribution facing censorship hurdles. And now, the authorities want to control the film rating platforms.<\/p>\n

According to China Film News, Wang Xiaohui, the vice minister of the Propaganda Department\u2019s Standing Committee and director of the China Film Administration, stated at the 2021 National Film Working Conference that a movie rating system will be perfected this year, fully integrating the political and the artistic, and social needs with market approval.<\/p>\n

For the moment, these plans are embryonic. It remains to be seen if authorities are preparing to directly manage the three major platforms (Douban, Maoyan, and Tao Piao Piao) or if they\u2019ll establish a new ratings system under the government\u2019s direct control.<\/p>\n

By\u00a0 blocking and taking down content, the authorities are trying to suffocate creative and critical freedom. The end goal is to weaken independent thought, and to stifle grassroots interaction and activity.<\/p>\n

In the words of director Ying Liang:<\/p>\n

The nature of the system is such that it doesn\u2019t need to tell you what exactly the standards or rules are. If you work within the system, be it in film, media, law, publishing, it\u2019s all the same. You self-censor out of fear… Such a constant state of second-guessing and speculating can only weaken your sense of autonomy, and, in the end, stunt the growth of civil society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
