Central Bureau of China on film, radio and television has decided that "it is not necessary to encourage production of time travel," because they "evince disrespect for history," said OpenSpace with reference to The Hollywood Reporter.
Television shows and movies about time machines are very popular in China. Almost all of them, however, use the same plot the course: the characters are sent in the past (and almost never - in the future), which occur with real historical figures.
"Right now, time travel - a common theme in dramas and movies, but the content of such products, as well as their delivery is very doubtful. Most of them are completely invented, and does not correspond to historical reality. The producers and writers too lightly a serious story, and it is not should be encouraged, "- explained the reasons for the ban a film critic and journalist Raymond Zhou Limin.
He also said that "essentially the product are not based on science, and use it as an excuse to comment on current events."
Regarding time travel, as described in the literature and theater, Chinese officials voiced no complaints.
During the first three months of 2011 the Chinese authorities have already banned the showing of movies smokers and excessive luxury (to "provide guidance to residents on their own production).
