China, which has traditionally dealt with objectionable content in motion pictures by having its censors simply remove it, is considering adopting a ratings system, according to the Xinhua News Agency. The state-run wire service acknowledged that "to the chagrin of producers and distributors, scary or sexy movies are often butchered by government censors." It quoted filmmaker Feng Xiaogang as saying that he was concerned about filming certain scenes for his movie A World Without Thieves because he was worried that children who saw it might imitate the behavior of the characters. "So I had to put a policeman there to teach justice to minors." And, Xinhua said, the Chinese distributor of War of the Worlds has issued a public warning, advising that "children should watch the movie only accompanied by parents."
