Economic and Security Review Commission offered an enlightening selection of anecdotes: In “Skyfall,” Chinese audiences never saw James Bond kill a Chinese security guard, as he does in the original edit in “Mission: Impossible III,” censors cut a scene shot in Shanghai that showed garments drying on a clothesline “Men in Black 3” had a scene removed that showed secret agents using a tool, leading some to speculate that the censors didn’t want to invite the allusion to censorship.
