Reply to comment by AudibleNod in Saudi Arabia jails two Wikipedia staff in ‘bid to control content’ by GhostlyRuse

> Just look at how much China makes Hollywood bend to it’s will. Objectively, it’s really something. Saudi Arabia can do something similar with all that money they have.

Not a good example really. China bends Hollywood to its will because it has an absolute massive movie market equal to that of the US. Saudi Arabia does not have that advantage.

There's only a handful of movie theaters in Saudi Arabia and it's only a tenth the size of America in population I grant you. But instead of people we can talk raw dollar figures and get Saudi Arabia closer to China in terms of capital. Factor that with Saudi Arabia's influence with rest of the region and you get a bit closer to a China comparison.
