EXCERPT:

CHIENG: "Okay, [bleep] that, this war has gone too far! Some of our finest, most likable Chinese-Malaysian actors have built a career in Asian-themed movies that depend on the Chinese market, all right?
(Cheering and Applause)
It’s called 'Crazy Rich Asians,' not 'Crazy Just-Getting-By Asians.' And don’t forget, this affects you too, China. If you ban American movies, how will you ever find out the endings to all these remakes of movies from decades ago? But as drastic as some of these trade policies are, they are nothing compared to the awesome power of Chinese propaganda. And luckily for China, we all have a Chinese propaganda app on our phones."
