Chinese Censors Crack Down on Time Travel

Posted by samzenpus on from the leaving-the-past-alone dept.

H_Fisher writes "Disrespect the Chinese government at your peril ... and this includes anything you do with the past. Time magazine's Techland blog reports that China is banning references to time travel which are disrespectful to the nation's culture and history. No word on whether this includes a travel ban on time lords."

    If you outlaw scifi then only criminals will have scifi,
    meaning only criminals will go on to study physics.

    Take it easy on the State Administration for Radio, Film & Television, xMrFishx; everybody kills Hong Xiuquan on their first trip. I did. It always gets fixed within a few minutes, what's the harm?

    Speaking to you from 2075 to let you know their ban was an utter failure. Also. Chinese take-out is still popular in regions where the Tsunami of 2040 didn't wipe out coastal populations.
