Wushu is the national martial art of China, along with Tai-Chi it has several thousand years of History, and is a proud Heritage of the Chinese culture.
But the parody of Wushu Combat competition as sponsored by CCTV is a real disappointment, it is an utter bore, I could hardly find anything complimentary to comment, from the amateurish flashy presenter, to the ridiculously unexciting and super short fights, the referee, the jury ...... hardly anything positive to comment on, on the contrary this whole show is counter productive, a bad publicity, and a total dis-illusionment.
Wushu is in the hands of a private body these days called something like the International Wushu Federation or thereabouts. Since it is a private corporate entity, in my opinion, anyway, it has placed its emphasis on making money and being profitable over quality of wushu. Wushu was removed from official government patronage in about 1998 in an attempt, or at least it was claimed, to depoliticise sports (their claim, not mine). Wushu itself is not that old, having been reinvented by You-Know-Whom in 1949 in order to bring martial arts traditions up-to-date.
You are confusing censorship with quality control !
