China says it will limit U.S. film imports after President Trump jacked tariffs to 125%. (It’s now 145%)
China blames their audience, but it’s clear the real reason.
President Trump just shrugged: “I’ve heard of worse things.”
China used to be a golden ticket for Hollywood, but post-COVID, that ended.
Looks like Hollywood won’t have to keep bowing their knee to their communist masters, at least, their communist masters in China. They’ve got others.
LMAOO.. China will BAN the imports of US films.
They are getting desperate.

The Post Millennial reports:
In response to China saying that it would reduce the number of US films imported into the country in response to the latest round of tariffs placed on the country by President Donald Trump, the US leader laughed off the action from China in a cabinet meeting saying, “I think I’ve heard of worse things.”
The China Film Administration said on Thursday that it would “moderately reduce” the number of American films imported in response to the latest wave of tariffs. Trump on Wednesday increased tariffs on China to 125 percent, and cut some tariffs on countries that were negotiating with the US.
The China Film Administration said in a statement, “The wrong action of the US government to abuse tariffs on China will inevitably further reduce the domestic audience’s favorability towards American films. We will follow the market rules, respect the audience’s choice, and moderately reduce the number of American films imported,” per Variety.
In 1994, China began importing 10 American films per year through a revenue-sharing model, Reuters reported. While China is the world’s second-largest film market, enthusiasm for American movies post-Covid has waned. Domestic films have accounted for around 80 percent of annual box office revenue since 2020 in China, up from around 60 percent previously.
Trump on China reducing the number of American films that can be shown there:

Scoot over, Winnie the Pooh. You’re not the only thing that’s banned in China.
Did you know Xi banned images of Winnie the Pooh in China? Wait until you find out why!
