On a Chinese film you just give orders, no one questions you. Here, you have to convince people, you have to tell them why you want to do it a certain way, and they argue with you. Democracy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.
I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.
When the nation can act freely, then China may be called strong. To make the nation free, we must each sacrifice his freedom.
If we expose the Chinese to our freedoms, it may create a greater hunger for democracy, reform and liberties in China.
Democracy in China is like Viagra; no such thing as free elections.
I would have a democratic process for people to get together and talk about the way they want the government to conduct business with China.
If we are to give the people of China complete self-government we must first solve the problem of livelihood for all, and give real freedom to the races within China. If the foundations of democracy are secure, then true equality can be achieved.
We want to assist China's soft power; we want to develop a vibrant young cinema in China. The average American has no understanding whatsoever of China. We'd like to create a young generation to tell their stories on a world stage. We can make history as well as make money.
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
It's pretty easy to make a film in China. A few years ago I just walked into the office and let them know I wanted to make a movie called 'Red Cliff' and they were so excited. They said, 'Let's do it!' It's that simple.
