James Bond Skyfall censored for Chinese audience

[Gerald]

The latest James Bond film, Skyfall, is released in China on Monday but like other films before it, parts have been cut at the request of the Chinese censors.

Some Skyfall scenes were shot in Shanghai to help give it a bit more appeal to Chinese audiences, an increasingly lucrative box office market.

The BBC's John Sudworth said China often demands changes to films before they can be shown in the country.

He said parts of the Skyfall plot had been removed entirely.

Not an unexpected act of the regime in China.
