I think they missed an excellent opportunity to do a joint venture with Taiwan. This could've been a "Tora Tora Tora" style of movie -- "Once they did battle against each other. Now, they come together to bring you the greatest motion picture of all time!" The Taiwanese could film all the scenes of the Generalissimo (why is this in quotations in the article?), and the Chinese could film all the scenes of the Chairman. Both sides could then come off looking noble. The cause of the fighting would be a tragic misunderstanding that's never quite explained in the movie.
