because it forces the brain to either think creatively or explode
seriously , it is thought to lead to "inharmonious thinking" i forget the actual term but they believe it will cause people to start to reject some of the cultural norms or aspects of the govt
do you mean time travel into the future? Because I just watched a couple of TV shows where someone time traveled into old china. It seems to be a popular show. I never heard of such a ban.
I heard that one of the popular shows right now is about a girl who travels back in time. It's a historical drama. Was this ban after the show began to air, or for some reason is it not included in this ban?

Does it involve going back in time to fight the japanese? I can see how that'd be allowed.
They want people to watch those lame propaganda shows where the nationalists are the bad guys, the communists are the good guys and the Japanese are the Saurons of the 1940's. Lord of the Ring reference for the win.
it is strange . I never heard of such a ban either . Xinyueren and jnusb are correct with their information .
