Which seems dumb. Marvel went out of their way to make "The Mandarin" character a joke, and gave Tony Leung total control of his character, which takes almost nothing from the comics. Don't know what else Marvel could have done there
Seems like an excuse to me. I see China blocking more and more outside influences, as they begin to assert more control on Hong Kong. Their list of banned subjects seems to just get longer and longer.
