“China’s state-run television network shocked viewers by broadcasting ‘V for Vendetta’, an anarchist-themed film showing an uprising against an authoritarian government. Chinese Internet users expressed surprise after watching the broadcast, circulating subversive lines from the movie including: ‘The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people.’ The film was once banned in mainland China, the state-run China Youth Daily reported, and was not shown in Chinese cinemas.”
