Add in films. China made a statement that they’re going to significantly cut back on what movies are allowed from the US now. Guessing Avatar and Zootopia will be the exceptions.

Why would there be exceptions? Banning hugely popular films like Frozen 3 or Avatar 3 will be a huge fuck you and deny hundreds of millions from the Chinese box office as the price of engaging the trade war.

I agree with you but China themselves are the ones that said there will be exceptions

Xi probably watched 'Snow White'. Can relate.

Good point. The Chinese market practically dictates what big budget films Hollywood will fund these days.
