		The history of Chinese-language cinema has three separate threads of development: Cinema of Hong Kong, Cinema of China, and Cinema of Taiwan.

	People's Republic of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PRC asserts the Republic of China to be an illegitimate and supplanted entity and administratively categorizes Taiwan as a province of the PRC.
		A major reason for this is that for much of China's history, the state had been ruled by some form of centralized imperial monarchy, which was followed by a chaotic succession of largely authoritarian Chinese Nationalist governments as well as warlord-held administrations since the last few years of the Qing dynasty in 1912.
		A much troubled foreign relationship is that between China and Japan, which has been strained at times by Japan's refusal to acknowledge its war-time past to the satisfaction of the PRC, such as the insufficient details given to the Nanjing Massacre and other atrocities committed during World War II in Japanese history textbooks.

	Shanghai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally a sleepy fishing town, Shanghai became China's most important city by the start of the 20th century and was the center of popular culture, vice, intellectual discourse and political intrigue in Republican China.
		Its importance to China's fiscal well-being also denied it economic liberalizations that were started in the far southern provinces such as Guangdong during the mid-1980s.
		Many of China's top government officials in Beijing are known to have risen in Shanghai in the 1980s on a platform that was critical of the extreme leftism of the Cultural Revolution, giving them the tag "Shanghai Clique" during the 1990s.

	Firecracker \| Cinema China ’07: Re-Orienting the viewer
		Thus, just as the country opened to outside influence, Chinese cinema slowly escaped from the rigid parameters of socialist realism, which was the official line for more than thirty years, since the state completely gained total control of the industry in 1953.
		Screening at Cinema China in a beautiful print, which did justice to Zhang Yimou’s ravishing landscape photography, and not an easy film to track down, this was one of the biggest of the many treats the festival afforded.
		It is important to understand where this new burst of creativity stemmed from and Cinema China provided the perfect introduction to a national cinema that is still veiled in mystery: a perfect re-orientation for viewers.

	Amanda Selfridge on Yellow Earth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The possibility of a Third Cinema in China is encouraged with Chen Kaige's 1984 film Yellow Earth.
		Centrifugal spatial configurations open up to a consciousness that is not moved by desire but rather the lack of it- the 'telling' moments are often represented in extreme long shots with little depth when sky and horizon are proportioned to an extreme, leaving a lot of 'empty spaces' within the frame.
		Yet, the cinema in China remains bound to censorship and banning of films.
