We always complain that Chinese TV producers cannot make substantive dramas like House of Cards. Little do we know that Chinese filmmaker Zhang Guoli remarked that “ it is not that such dramas cannot be filmed, but even if they are made, they simply would not pass censorship ”. This seemingly lays bare the reasons behind it. Of course, we neither have the ability nor the time to dwell on excessive political factors, but we can fully enjoy the feast meant for watch enthusiasts tucked away within it.
