> American films often use military assets and personal, and give the military final cut on the films

Which is a voluntary process. How does that compare to top down state censorship?

It creates unfair competitive advantage against those who don't want to adhere to state approved propaganda.

I know some are weak at geography, law and business. It's fine. But Tim Cook, nor Apple, are leaders of China nor a state.

If an executive asks for changes to remove homophobic comments from a Western film, they are not engaging in "top-down state censorship". That's just a person helping other people not be jerks.

I seriously have no idea what you are talking about. If I had to guess, you are comparing removing hate-speech to adding CCP propaganda. Those are the same thing.

Can that possibly be right?
