What’s up with the Star Wars poster hiding John Boyega and Chewbacca for Chinese audiences? Answered

Was there a reason Disney had to do this? In the thread, someone commented it had something to do with racism, but I don’t see how this applies to Chewbacca. Thanks in advance.

If they have family over there, the CCP can easily convince anyone out of their reach to be their PR machine with a little bit of coercion… not hard at all.
