Jackie Chan's new movie not released in China

The director of Jackie Chan's newest movie, "Shinjuku Incident," has decided not to release the Chinese language movie to mainland China because he did not want to remove any of the violent scenes which will not pass censorship in China. And because the film's setting is in Japan, the director was also worried about how it would be received considering current tenuous relations between Japan and China. For this same reason, "Memoirs of a Memoirs of a Geisha" was not released in China for fear that Chinese actresses Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li portrayal of Japanese entertainers would offend audiences.
