I had read on another source that the Chinese government had received a great deal of criticism for allowing “Lust Caution” which included very graphic sex scenes. It sounded like they are generally acting from an overly cautious position were they want to garantee that the final product will meet all their standards. It’s hard enough to keep producers and studios happy – trying to appease a totalitarian government is giving up too much creative control.

It’s probably some scene that makes the Chinese government or police look bad. They’re pretty uptight about that kind of stuff. That and the fact that it’s set in WWII, Japanese occupied Shanghai might have something to do with it as well.
