Bond hasn't exactly done well in China, but now the news has come that without cuts Casino Royale (Filmstalker review) is going to be seen. That's something amazing, especially considering that The Departed has been banned for the portrayal of the Chinese Government.

Mind you, there's no anti-chinese messages in this film, although there certainly scenes that the Chinese Government don't agree with such as gambling, and that's a huge part of the film. However they've allowed the film and even passed the added explanatory dubbing to explain the gambling.

The story comes from Total Film and according to them this is the first Bond film to make it into China on the big screen in 45 years. Quick maths that means since Dr No, which was the first Bond film outing.
