In Skyfall, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, scenes depicting James Bond defeating men of Chinese origin have been cut - any suggestion that the Chinese people are weak or easily defeated, even by a world class assassin, mean that the government won't approve it.
Well, the Chinese characters was beaten by a ... British (OPIUM WARRRRR) character.
Interesting, did the filmmakers know that ahead of time or was it edited later when they found out?
No idea. There's less stories of these sort of shenanigans nowadays, simply because the studios found it increasingly harder to predict what the censors would allow at any given moment.
