Chimerica

I think the world, particularly residents of China, need periodic reminding of the Tiananmen square massacre, to counter the Chinese regime's continuing efforts to erase this dreadful event from history.

Whatever the artistic merits of this series, it is serving a valuable reminder of the true face of the Chinese government.

I think just because the Chinese in the show doesn't conform to your view of standard Chinese doesn't mean they're foreigner or born overseas either. First you should look at how many dialect does Chinese have and without the most basic understanding of how different they're it's silly to say what you have said. What if they were speaking haika or hokin? What if it's Manchu? It's disappointing review given really

I think the show is a great intro for Chinese who do not even have access to the basic fact of the event and start understanding what ideas are those people fighting for. Ideas that aren't even allowed to mention without being deleted on their social media

Bad journalist I have read all reviews for this mini-series. Some I agree with and some are just odd. The first thing you read on the screen is that it is a fiction story about a true event. What bothered me the most is the stupidity of the journalist who selfishly put everyone in danger, and not learning from his mistakes. Call it naïve, or just being American, this journalist is so reckless that I really don't know how he managed to get into Syria or china at that time and survive. Overall, I liked the story. I believe the oppression in china is worse than what we have seen in the series. And about the Chinese speaking the Chinese, well, for me it was perfect because I don't speak the language.

Bad acting, pro- Hilary propaganda is just too much, and the picture of the killed woman in Syria BY THE RUSSIANS is just stop please- too much propaganda! But, I gave it 9 cuz of the story. It Is important to be heard. And the scenario and the story plot is really good, it keeps your attention.

Although it is fiction and based on a play, I'm sure that it would not make great viewing for people with strong political views.

Personally I watched it as a neutral and I liked how they have adapted it to be set around the time of the 2016 US election.
