But is exactly its relative insignificance and the fact that it is a freedom of art/speech sort of issue that makes this capitulation all the more disturbing. <br /><br />If even a DPP government in Kaohsiung is going to basically censor a film (that lots of people want to see) just so the Chinese press won't make too many headlines about it, what is left to count as sacred?阿牛https://www.blogger.com/profile/08403972286057197709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444895069543408811.post-43414261995710738282009-09-21T06:55:27.331+08:002009-09-21T06:55:27.331+08:00a-gu,

Taiwan is just too small to withstand the wads of Chinese cash it can get provided it plays nicely.<br /><br />A film is small-fry, though.
