That the producers of the remake of Red Dawn would scrub out references to the ChiComs, like pasting new pages into the Great Soviet Encyclopedia to erase purge party members, is appalling, of course. (Haven’t we always been at war with Eastasia?)
But maybe they can compensate by making the Chinese our allies instead, as in the original, allowing them to reproduce this immortal exchange:
Jed Eckert: . . . Well, who is on our side?
Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
Col. Andy Tanner: There were.
