China has censored part of the latest instalment of hit hollywood movie Pirates of the Caribbean for vilifying and defacing the chinese. The role of Hong Kong star Chow Yun fat, who act the role of Pirate lord captain Sao Feng, who had been slashed into half about ten minutes of screen time play by Chow Yun Fat.
The captain played by Chow Yun Fat is bald with his face heavily scarred and also bare a long bread and long nails whose image is still in line with hollywood's old tradition of demonising the chinese. The china censors board also cut a scene in which the Hong Kong Star says Welcome to Singapore. This already attracted protests from Singapore people who dislike the saying as it hints that Singapore is a Island of pirates.
Even with the censors of the picture in China the film Pirates of the Carribbeans ( AT WORLD'S END) still performed well in the China box office touching 1.18 million yuan on the first day in Shanghai movies alone.
