Red Dawn 2019: Reinstate 八一

montage image: on the left hand side; various images relating to real-world good relations between Russia and China, politically and militarily. On the right hand side, photos and images relating to the original production of Red Dawn (2012) movie; showing Chinese propaganda posters and military forces.

Given the current state of things¹, it might be worth considering a re-release of 'Red Dawn (2012)', containing the original People's Republic of China story-line and imagery. It might not make the film any better, but at least the story and scenery would make a modicum more sense. Either-way, it would be pretty cool to see Chinese and Russian military on American streets, even in such a silly film as this.
