Censorship of the Arts in China China is a traditional country in the world, though it is also the biggest developed country. There are so many things are banded. Just like foreign TV channels, websites, festivals and so on. Nothing could be free in China, even the arts. You cannot see a completed film in a public cinema, I promise. In most people’s eyes, China that imposes restrictions on the arts do hurt them, but also hurt itself. As a local Chinese, you wouldn’t see some different artworks and reports about China if you didn’t go abroad. To some degree, it means that you are behind others. Most overseas websites had been blockaded, such as Facebook and Youtube. The movie and television department always cut some parts of programs. I think that just make the arts changed, lost the true colors. Nobody wants to see fake things. China government always says that they just do something for our own good. Actually, they just considers from their point of view. They worried that more foreign arts would build-up of more pressure. But I guess none could escape from the globalization in the times, different arts and culture fuse together is the main trend. Believe it or not, it is a good way to make people create more fascinating artworks. But some people think that China is a special country, foreign culture would influence Chinese people’s mind and actions through the artworks. They afraid of the free arts and X-films might cause the social unrest. And the large population is really hard to handle. For teenagers, they don’t know how to face the effect from the different arts. In my opinion, China government should accommodate diverse art forms, not just forbid it. It would take some risks, but no need to say, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. An open country will get more good luck.
