Don't worry, Chinese movie fans! Despite having a non-standard DVD format all for your own country, you'll still be able to watch the hottest releases that the studios sell only on BD and HD-DVD! And at much lower prices than we Westerners pay. How is this possibly? By the miracle of state-sponsored (or, at the very least, tolerated) piracy! Darn you capitalist Westerners. We shall watch your movies, but you'll never get our money!
