Summary
The level of infiltration that China has achieved in the American movie industry is startling.
In fact, many films are now so expensive that they desperately depend on the Chinese market to make a profit. A movie might make $200 million domestically, but that only covers their production and marketing costs. In order to make an actual profit, they need to enter China. And in order to do so, studio heads are willing to do almost anything. It used to be that the Chinese Communist Party would consider allowing films into the country so long as they didn’t mention the so-called taboo subjects: things like Taiwan, Tibet, Tiananmen Square, and Falun Gong. However, over the past 20 years, this censorship has evolved into a beast of its own.

| 0:59.5 | different type of beast. |
| 1:00.8 | Knowing the importance of China, |
| 1:02.3 | studio heads, writers, showrunners, and so on, they not only ignore the topics they know they should ignore, but even further, they add Chinese Communist Party talking points into their actual films in the hopes of being allowed into the market. |
| 1:15.4 | Furthermore, actors self-centered their views because they've seen what happens to actors who don't. |
| 1:20.8 | And all the while, American audiences have been presented a picture |
| 1:24.2 | on their screens of a benevolent communist China. Now in a certain sense we all knew |
| 1:29.7 | that this was happening. However, the extent of it, as well as the specifics of how this infiltration |
| 1:34.8 | has manifested, were recently uncovered in a new documentary called Hollywood Takeover, China's |
| 1:39.3 | control of the film industry. And I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit down and |
| 1:43.5 | speak with Miss Tiffany Meyer, the lead investigative journalist as well as the |
