So the mainland authoritarian puritans continue with their eradication of creativity campaign. I would think that being banned from filmmaking two years in a row is tantamount to permanent blacklisting. And cracking down on artistic depictions of human behaviors such as gambling and prostitution? And is the portrayal of such "vices" (it's all relative)in the context of cinematic storytelling worse than the actual social ills -- gambling & prostitution being two of the oldest and most common "bad" conduct behaviors found in human society and nearly impossible to stamp out.
