I've been living in China for nearlly ten years now, and I've never heard about the ban on talking animals. That's kind of stupid because one of their most revered mythological beings, Sun WuKong (孙悟空), is a monkey that talks. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is hugely successful and it's nothing but talking animals. SpongeBob and Paw Patrol are popular with Chinese children, and talking animals isn't warping their minds or anything. It would be a bit hypocritical if they really did enforce the ban.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

If you're wondering about the phrase "10,000 Years", it's a way to wish someone a long life. In ancient China it was used to wish the emperor, while during the Cultural Revolution it was used to wish Chairman Mao. Nowadays in China, it's just used as an exclamation of joy in general. When Italy scored a goal in the 2006 World Cup's round of 16 against Australia, the Chinese commentator said "Italy ten thousand years!" interpreted as his way of saying "Forza Italia". So it's in no way a negative thing Meanwhile in the DPRK, saying ten-thousand years is used for whenever the Supreme Leader enters a building. Or as the world knows it, "Manse/만세!" Whenever this happens for a big event, Song of Happiness for the Great Leader, the DPRK version of Hail to the Chief, is played in the background.

[@LichtL-ni3rl]

"10,000 years" is mostly an exclamation used to for something very important/normally national. It should be translated as "long live ..." or "all praises to ...". I think it is similar to "vive la France". It should be noted that, instead of "thousand", the biggest single worded unit in chinese is 10,000 (don't ask why), so ten thousand can be taken as a generic term for a large number. 9 is used in this way as well. In chinese, "10,000" is directly translated to "one ten-thousand", the hyphen indicating it is a single unit, whereas "10,000 years" is just "ten-thousand years", without the "one". This is more apparent in the next this example, where "1000 years" is pronunced "thousand years" instead of "one thousand years" A very very long time ago, this was used to salute emperors, and was a synonym/title of the emperor. This was taken to mean the people wish the emperor to live forever. Similarly, the emperor's advisors were called "thousand years".

[@EBBEBBEBBE]

That's why japanese yelling BANZAI it mean 10,000years.

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

10,000 years also has a deeper religious meaning. It is said that the Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms: one less than the perfect 10,000 rooms of the castle in heaven. It’s also found in a lot of other East Asian cultures by association. “Banzai” literally means 10000 in Japanese, so the phrase “Tennōheika Banzai! (天皇陛下万歳)” means “Long live His Majesty The Emperor” but it could also be translated as “10000 years to the Emperor”. By the way yes Japanese soldiers were confirmed to say such a phrase in banzai charges, however despite pop culture portrayal Kamikaze pilots did not always scream it while performing their suicide attacks.

Regarding the talking animal ban, that one isn't true. Ever heard of Journey to the West? You may know it as Monkey King, but it's China's most famous tale. A tale that features...talking creatures. For the 2008 Summer Olympics, when the mascots were revealed, the Chinese government released cartoons showcasing them where they talked. The mascots, known as the Fuwa, represent, you guessed it...different creatures from China. Kung Fu Panda is also insanely popular in China. The book Alice in Wonderland was banned in one province for putting talking animals at the same level as humans, but that was back in 1931, so before the PRC was a thing. "Winnie the Pooh is NOT banned in China" and while Disney World has the Hall of Presidents showcasing an animatronic of every president in US history up until the current, Shanghai Disneyland's Hall of Presidents is.... *The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh* (yes, this ride is at the park). Funny thing you mention Avatar in China, in 2019 Endgame took the title of highest grossing movie of all time from Avatar. However in 2021, Avatar was able to re-claim its title because it was re-released in China. Though it's just Disney...beating Disney. The embodiment of the Obama awarding Obama meme

[@lawrencenodarse3090]

I lived in China from 2010 to 2016, lived in Guangzhou for one year, Shanghai for 5, and traveled all over the country. As a foreigner living there, I only felt I was living in an authoritarian state when I used the internet. People in society are out and about, unafraid, dining, partying, having fun, shopping shopping shopping... it's capitalism on steroids. When I tried to talk to Chinese people about the government, they never seemed afraid to talk, it just didn't interest them. They reminded me of American teenagers-- talking about friends, dating, their social media, pop culture, but no interest in politics. I met people who had lived abroad, and while there, they never bothered to learn about the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It's like they didn't want to know because the truth would be ugly. And they are believers in Tibet and Taiwan being a part of China. They tow the line whole-heartedly. I loved my China experience, but the internet really was a nightmare. Even unblocked websites would take forever to load. I'd have to click "play" on a 10 minute video and wait 30 minutes for it to load so that it would play with only a few interruptions. Every so often, my VPN would stop working. This especially happened during sensitive anniversaries and when there'd be an international summit. I never knew when I'd be able to use fast and uncensored internet. When I'd visit Hong Kong or Taiwan, it was heavenly. It was like... China with fast, uncensored internet. I literally went to Hong Kong once just for a vacation from the firewall. And yes, WeChat.... it was so weird when I moved back to the USA and WeChat was no longer necessary. That app is EVERYTHING in China. You can't function without it. Digital life in the USA suddenly seemed so complicated, having to use so many apps to do different things, when in China, I only needed one. Americans don't even know what WeChat is. That is still bizarre for me.

I had a chance to talk to a TV producer from Japan a few years back. Because of the fact that TV is slowly dying as an entertainment in a traditional sense, one of the ways producing companies in Japan, and I would guess other (East) Asian countries, earn money is by selling IP's and rights to Chinese production companies which then create their own versions of films and series.

I am the Chinese person who came to KZbin using VPN. This video is very objective and tells the truth. Twenty years ago, most Chinese people may not be familiar with foreign countries because technology at that time made most people not even know how to use the Internet, which also led to their understanding of foreign countries only coming from domestic media. This also led them to believe that China must be better than foreign countries. But now technology has become very advanced (compared to before), and most young people in China use the Internet.

But there will also be some people who are brainwashed by politics, to the extent that their understanding of foreign countries is still unclear. Our government has done practical things for the people, and restricting access to the internet is also because one country's president said that we should use media and public opinion to disrupt people's hearts. There are not many people in China who have the ability to go abroad, so in order to cope with the political strategy of other countries using media, we can only use VPN to browse the internet and let young people who have the ability to go abroad experience the foreign environment with heart. However, even though browsing the internet is prohibited, the prevalence of VPN still leads to some foreign spies disguising themselves as Chinese through VPN and making comments online to disrupt public opinion. Take a step and see, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Before resistance comes, don't assume there is oppression. If there is really oppression, Chinese young people will stand up.

I'm pretty sure the "talking animal ban" is complete bs. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is certainly not banned in China for being an iconic folktale character, Black Cat Detective is a famous (albeit very propagandistic) cartoon from the early days of Chinese animation, and more recently I remember the show "Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf" being quite popular with the kids in China.

我就是用VPN来到KZbin的中国人，这个视频很客观，讲述的也是事实，放在二十年前，可能有大部分中国人不了解外国，因为当时的科技导致大部分人连互联网都不会用，也导致了他们对国外的了解只能来源于国内媒体，这也导致了他们认为中国一定比外国好。but，现在科技已经很发达了（相比起之前），大多数的中国年轻人都会使用互联网，也有一部分的年轻人出国旅行或留学，都清晰了国外的样子，大家已经不会被政府利用政治手段“欺骗”了。但是也会有一部分人被政治洗脑，以至于仍然对国外的认识不清晰。我们国家政府对人民是做了实事的，限制去外网也是因为有个国家的总统说，要利用媒体舆论来扰乱民心，中国有能力出国的人也没有很多，所以为了应对他国利用媒体的政治战略，不得以的只能用VPN浏览外网了，让那些有能力出国的年轻人去用心体会国外环境。不过即使禁止浏览外网，但是VPN的盛行还是导致一些国外间谍会通过VPN伪装成中国人，在网络上发表一些言论来扰乱民心。走一步看一步，有压迫就有反抗，反抗还没来之前，就先别猜想有压迫。如果真的存在压迫，中国年轻人会站出来的。 （baidu translator） I am the Chinese person who came to KZbin using VPN. This video is very objective and tells the truth. Twenty years ago, most Chinese people may not be familiar with foreign countries because technology at that time made most people not even know how to use the Internet, which also led to their understanding of foreign countries only coming from domestic media. This also led them to believe that China must be better than foreign countries. But now technology has become very advanced (compared to before), and most young people in China use the Internet. There are also some young people who travel or study abroad, and they have a clear understanding of what it looks like abroad. People will no longer be deceived by the government's political means. But there will also be some people who are brainwashed by politics, to the extent that their understanding of foreign countries is still unclear.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct. Just like the Chinese language, Chinese legislation does not operate based on rules but base on context. The goal of Chinese legislation is not to provide a guideline of operation but to provide a guideline on the desired outcome. Hence many Chinese laws and rules only state the desired result but not the process which to achieve said result or the situation in which the rule is applied. Which is the reason why there is much inconsistency in the examples provided in the video. The video provided a relatively accurate and comprehensive (compare to other videos of similar topic on KZbin) description of the process but only briefly touched on the result of the desired process, and the relevant context which produced such process.

I remember living in China and arguing with one of my coworkers about Tiananmen Square. He had travelled around the world and still loved China's system of doing things, going as far as to say the massacre was justified.

Blue pilled brainwashed people. Can’t be helped. Poor them.

If he doesn’t love the system he had to either hide his thoughts and be dishonest almost all the time or be prepared for jail time. Either way isn’t easy. Many of us just mesmerized ourselves to believe that our system is the best to avoid the struggle.

Read up on the Falun gong cult, they are another faction fighting for power in China. They have aligned themselves with the CIA and they ain't saints. The Tienanmen Square event in China is taught as when the Falun gong cult started an insurrection. You can argue whether or not the Falun gong are the lesser evil, however, labeling the Tienanmen Square event as an outright massacre on innocent students is a bit disingenuous given the massive effort by Western intelligence agencies involvement during the day. Go watch the full uncut video of the Tank Man, he walked away fine here in the States he would have been shot for even approaching law enforcement, or go read BBC's original account of the events and you'll notice the BBC reporters stating the difficulties the Chinese military had as they were constantly being surrounded due to the lack of arms available for them. Overall the event isn't as black and white as our Federally-approved papers ( US Operation: Mocking Bird) tells us.
