China's Military vs. Celebs: The New Red Line in Entertainment

A shocking new red line has just been drawn in the Chinese entertainment industry, and this time, it’s not just the censors calling the shots—it’s the military. When the ultra-popular historical drama "Zhuyu" (逐玉) aired in March 2026, fans were captivated by its stunning visuals.
