Really weird comments here. It's a VFX technique for cinematography, one of many of that kind (e.g. supporting wire removal). Cinematography in general is about showing something that doesn't exist, unless it's a documentary. Your only reaction is apparently calling censorship. Says a lot about the current Overton window and I think it's something you should reflect on.

Why China? I see this being used in many countries, especially in the West. We've crashed head straight into a dystopian future. But worry not! The crash can be edited out of reality.

Which films have had items censored out of them for release?

No, I get it, and the benefits of putting what would have required a professional VFX team at (eventually) the fingertips of every amateur filmmaker are amazing.

It’s also alarming what’s possible when reassembling photons en masse becomes commoditized.

Also lets them quickly censor things the West doesn’t like, as a client state of particular nations in the Middle East VPN sometime if you have doubts about that in western media, including US

State-approved VPN would alter the video and stream it to you. This is the only way to stay on the right side of the history

soo basically, they'll replace "coke can" with "redbull" or similar depending on who pays for ads in video? what else they gonna use it for?

I can see this being one of many AI tools for video editors. Combined with a handful of other tricks an SFX shop should have a tremendously higher productivity.
