This episode was a total slam on the trend of selling various entertainment properties to Chinese interests, and the how the shows are then tampered with to blatantly sell crap products, to promote Chinese industries, to twist the story into a crap plot that promotes Chinese morality ideals, and to meet strict censorship rules, all yielding a show that well and truly sucks.
So the show gets high marks for being a political statement. The next time you see a movie or show with Chinese production companies, you'll be aware of just how awful it is.
But yeah, if you don't catch how awful the show is because of the tampering, it's just an awful episode.
