China's Dalian Wanda Group and AMC Entertainment announced Monday a $2.6 billion deal to take over the U.S. theater group, forming the world's largest cinema chain, according to a new release on the deal.

The move is the latest in a raft of deals between U.S. entertainment companies and Chinese firms, linking the world's largest theater market with the world's fastest growing.

Will this open the market to Chinese political porn with English subtitles? Or American political porn with Chinese subtitles?

So you want a free market economy where companies can do this...then you are pissed off when they do?

Do you seriously spend your life looking for ways to be unhappy?

Default Chinese buying AMC theatres
This out right after congress is trying to shove some law down our throats legalizing propaganda. It appears our government is working lockstep with the communists. I'm sure Bill Clinton is right in the middle of this nonsense as he's our first real chinese president.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't know AMC Theatres was owned by the federal government...?
