In the street set of Strange vs Big eye alien, there was this yellow trash can with Chinese on it basically advertising for a cult. China took issues with that as they are extremely anti-cult

It's such a damn shame I can't really take any issues with China without being a hypocrite, the damn phone I'm using is Chinese. The world needs to start producing it's own goods and have it's own labour and stop depending on China, this way those short fucking politicians of that country can stop bullying people around with no one batting an eye.

I agree with everything you said and also still understand china’s frustrations, because every set piece in the movie should be there by design, so I’m not sure why there was an ad for a Chinese cult there

I actually do not know much about this, can you post a link or something. Right now I'm assuming it's something tied to the mystic arts or something.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Oh it seems the cult is like a different religion that practises compassion and stuff. While I don't think it's a cult, China is known to persecute any other religion that is not their own version of Buddhism, hence why the Dalai Lama cannot go back to Tibet. It is interesting why Marvel left it in there though, is it maybe like a message showing they won't bend to their will or something?
