With Casino Royale as the first Bond film to pass Chinese censors, do you think in the future the Chinese govt might ok a Bond film being shot on location in the country? I really hope so, a lot of great possibilities.

They shot TMWTGG in Hong Kong

I hope not. MI3 and Tomb Raider 2 were there recently and i've had enough of the far east communist countries from the recently passed Brosnan era with the likes of 'Vietnam' and 'North Korea'. Dreary locales for my money.

Bond needs to re-establish his supremacy with American audiences and there are plenty of awsome locations in both the US and Canada that have yet to be used.

I wouldn't be opposed to a Bond film in China. Licence to Kill was set in China when it was still called "License Revoked". China would have certainly been a much more exotic location that the Panama clone called "Ishtmus" that they used in the final product. Also, considering the Tiannamen Square events happened the same summer of its release year, that would have made LTK even more fascinating. For that matter, I'm surprised that Tomorrow Never Dies hasn't already been shown in China with its underlying message that capitalist media tycoon and Rupert Murdoch-clone Elliott Carver is more dangerous to the world than communism and its poster girl for the Chinese secret service in Wai Lin's character.
