Why are you automatically blaming China for that? How do you know that decision wasn't made by the film directors/company? Unfortunately, propaganda runs deep and people easily believe whatever they want to believe

"Authorities in Dubai and in Singapore’s media regulatory board, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), threatened Disney and Lucasfilm to either cut a brief lesbian kiss from the end of Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker or else lose their film’s PG-13 rating ... While Chinese censors allowed the kiss to stay, an R rating in Singapore would’ve made the film inaccessible to its younger fans, hurting its financial success abroad."

It was the first Google search result

Disney and Lucasfilm are the ones to blame for chasing profit
