Liu Cixin wrote a novel that Netflix is going to turn into a Game-of-Thrones-type megaproject. However, Liu Cixin is Chinese and he recently said this about China's mass incarceration of Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang:
"Would you rather that they [the Muslims] be hacking away at bodies at train stations and schools in terrorist attacks? If anything, the government is helping their economy and trying to lift them out of poverty.... If you were to loosen up the country a bit, the consequences would be terrifying."
Calls have come for Netflix to cancel the production.
Personally I am against political censorship in most any form, whether it's against the right or the left. However, I do realize there IS a hard-learned [from World War II Germany] moral line in the West that cannot be crossed. A put-'em-in-concentration-camps mentality crosses the line for me. I think Netflix should cancel the project.
What do you think?
