No going back to the future!! The Chinese government's paranoia seemingly knows no bounds as they move to ban time travel adventure stories, claiming that it undermines their legitimacy, promotes feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.
I guess they are worried that citizens will get dangerous ideas about going back and killing Mao before he traumatizes all of China.
The move seems desperate, another move to restrict civil liberties on the whims of a corrupt and fearful government.
