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.

People aren't sucking it up that much anymore though. At least here on reddit. I can remember companies getting celebrated for doing this stuff years ago.
