Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ducks at sea!

China

• The New York Times reports Western studios are giving Chinese censors early access to their films.
• Wikipedia’s background on Chinese film censorship.
• Alyssa Rosenberg discussed this in June.
• Some Chinese directors don’t like censorship
• Some in Taiwan are suspicious of cross-strait media deals
• More traditional censorship of Chinese media persists (more, more)
• But the media can now report on (appalling) air quality and the government might be seeking to reduce air pollution
• And Dan Drezner updates on China’s non-leverage via U.S. debt holdings.

Lots of links, but only one country. That’s how we roll sometimes.
