Sadly I doubt anyone working on this thought it was racist.
They probably were lazy and didn't bother
They didn't forget. They just don't think it's racist. Cause as this thread has shown, white people get to decide what is and isn't racist to minorities.
I'm pretty sure Capcom made the choice to give it to Anderson considering the godawful RE movies he made. They're definitely not absolved of anything here. Sony, meanwhile, is distributing the film and weren't one of the production companies. I think one of the main companies who produced on it alongside Tencent is owned by Sony, if that makes much sense. They're not absolved either, though, but to single them out seems odd.

No kidding, there's a time and a place to call out the government of China. This ain't it. And this is coming from someone who vehemently despises said government for the horrific oppression of their own citizens. Keep the government and the people separate, and keep race out of it.
Even so, half the point in these blockbusters now is getting the chinese audience, so why take the risk?
This place is indeed gross against Asians. Some people in this thread, who are banned, said some very offensive, racists things against Chinese people and were outright dismissing racism against Chinese people. Why are there no warnings beneath the thread telling people to refrain from attacking Chinese people and that members should make a distinction between the government and the Chinese people living in China and around the world? In other threads, with different sensitive subjects, I always see these warnings. So fucking dissapointing.

He needs to be gone forever. This is just an unbelievable misfire on his part.Paul W. S. Anderson is the single credited writer. He directed this, he produced this and he cast this. MH is a 60 mil film not counting promotion cost. And here is the kicker. The biggest film of the year The Eight Hundred (8/10) made 461 mil in China. Only 60% of what Chinese blockusters can make in a normal year but nothing to sneeze at during Covid. The last RE film made 160 mil in China (but was the only runaway success in the series there) and MH has a Chinese producer with Tencent.
There is no justice in Hollywood if Anderson won´t end up in Hollywood jail over this for years and years. They had a Chinese producer so it would have been easy to get script approval from the CCP but here we are. WTF? RIP franchise appeal unless Paul again goes the direct to video (streaming?) rout like his Death Race sequels.Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
