he noted, they “edited out references to the fact that Freddie Mercury was gay.”sequel, the Taiwanese and Japanese flags on Maverick’s jacket were removed to “appease the the Chinese Communist Party.” “What message does it send that Maverick, an American icon, is afraid of the Chinese communists? That is ridiculous.” The disappearance of the symbols were noted by social media users when the trailer for the movie was released last year.
Studios for years have edited movies to gain entry into international markets, not just China but other countries, and those edits occasionally have created substantial attention. But Cruz has seized on China’s practices and he and other Republicans have also put the spotlight on the country’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Cruz called his legislation a “wake up call” to Hollywood. He’s seized on the attention generated by the industry before. In 2018, as he was running for reelection, he joined in protests on the right of the movie, about Neil Armstrong’s landing on the moon, because it didn’t feature him planting the American flag on its surface. He wrote on Twitter that the movie “erases” the flag, although it was visible in one scene.
tedcruz WE MUST . TO KEEP THE SLATE CLEAN. OUR TAXES USED FOR WE THE PEOPLE NOT THOSE THAT OWN THE STEEP MASION TRY FASHION DAMM
tedcruz Why are we giving government assistance to them at all 🤔
tedcruz Looking good senator ted Cruz. Glad you got rid of the facial hair.
For the people typically against this because he's a Republican. Disney edited a Force Awakens poster to take the focus off of Finn (who is black) because it wouldn't be good for advertisements in China...Catering to China is a problem.
Could he please focus on more important things? 🙄
tedcruz how about JUST cease Govt. Assistance PERIOD to Movie Studios I didn't know we gave TAX Payer 💰 hand outs to HOLLYWOOD ..... why are we doing this exactly
tedcruz I could care less. Watch what you want, but bring back medical and electronic goods.
tedcruz About F’n time
Stop selling farm products to China too, Lyin’ Ted.

tedcruz Ted can watch uncensored movies on flights now with his daughter.
tedcruz It is impossible to gauge how the Hollywood pandering to the CCP has helped allow socialism to take hold in America
tedcruz Are you trying to get Crazy Rich Asians removed from the U.S.? Your racism is showing, lyin' Ted. I didn't think it was contagious.
I never thought I would agree with a anything this asshat had to say. But I agree with this. Enough with bowing to the communist regime.
tedcruz 93,000 dead
tedcruz How about mandating the movie industry must inform the public before they buy a ticket to state whether their movie was pre-censored by China or any other country, Senator Cruz?
tedcruz Top chewy instead of top gun
tedcruz
tedcruz but what about the free market? shouldn't corporations be entitled to pander to the CCP to make profit?
tedcruz Why do movie production companies need federal aid?
tedcruz Why are we assisting studious in the first place?
tedcruz Ted needs to find something to do with all of this time he has. Like something related to Texas.
I thought I was just answering my idiot Senator! Y'all need to make your posts more clear. Why are you doing this idiot's useless PR FOR him? I don't even know why I'm getting tweets from you. Good bye!
Boy, Senator, all sorts of useless stuff you're doing appearing on my facebook page tonight! I'm going to have to block you. If you don't like it you can always (please, please) refuse to send me any more emails and newsletters too.
tedcruz Wipe China’s bad influence and propaganda out of free world!
tedcruz Okay tedcruz, since you retweeted it, I’ll bite. Why this stance? I’m genuinely curious even though I know you probably won’t respond. tweetyourrepresentative
tedcruz No Hollywood Movie Company should ever receive a single penney from taxpayers!
tedcruz shut off all the valves
tedcruz Having gone through Film School and worked in the industry here in California. Most people would be shocked to know that the main two owners and producers of box office movies are Insurance Companies, and China.
tedcruz He's very anti-capitalist.
tedcruz Bravo!!
tedcruz Why are studios getting government help to begin with?
tedcruz Good work Ted, sounds like that bill is all we need to finally end this Corona virus and boost the wages of the middle class.
tedcruz Why are my tax dollars from my labor giving “assistance” to them in the first place? Fix that!!! Dexter
tedcruz Dictatorship
Does Ted Cruz ever do anything that isnt all about Ted Cruz? He'll be a rat jumping ship come November.
tedcruz He’s still pissed about the new Red Dawn replacing the ChiComs with N Koreans.
tedcruz Good
tedcruz Sure Ted.
tedcruz “Donald Trump does not want to be in charge of any of this. He wants to play president on TV. He doesn't want responsibility for governance in a time of crisis, and in every way he can, he's refusing to do that job, and lashing out at those who ask him to do it.”
tedcruz jeber: Trump has ceded the role of world leader to China w his isolationism and withdrawal from international agmts. He has turned us from a powerful country into the laughing stock of all civilized nations. His inadequacy as president has destroyed our international reputation
tedcruz Ted Cruz supports LGBT content.
tedcruz Hollywood should not bow to China!
tedcruz
tedcruz They've been editing old movies and shows for a lot more than the Chinese market. Some old shows are down to twenty minutes. Movie scenes are cut if they have anything that could possibly offend. Guess what that leaves.
tedcruz First amemdment
tedcruz But manufacturers who agree to teach China technology get federal bailout money....
tedcruz AMEN!!! GOD BLESS
tedcruz what a waste of time
So... all of them?
I have to admit this. I did not understand this headline. Aren’t there more important things to focus on?
Is he planning on opening a government censor office at each studio?
Because we don’t have more important problems...
And yet I'm 1000% sure he'd be pro censoring films to get them aired on Christian networks.
I don't know what the hell his lane is but he needs to stay in it.
This is virtually all movies.
Does he realize that studios constantly alter their movies to get past American censors ?
ReleaseTheShanghaiCut
What a waste of his mind. He’s such a disappointment.
