I can kinda understand why Muslim governments would want to ban this, but why would the Chinese government care?

They're all-weather allies with Pakistan.

>>220174057
Pakistan is a massive key leg in Belt and Road and China was pressured by the Pakistani government.

Sure but would it really be a problem if they allowed Chinese citizens to watch it? What do they think would happen?

It's about sending a message to the Gulf countries. Chinese citizens don't even know this film exists to care. They probably won't even watch it if it was allowed to release. They only care about Bollywood when it's Amir Khan or some other big personality.
Same reason why the Gulf countries side with China on the Uyghur issue, to send a message.

Balochistan is kept the poor with no school, running water because of racial hatred towards baloch by pakistani who control all govt positions. Massive chinese mining projects and belt roads displaced and poison natives and made it even worse for them. When they protest paki military abduct and kill them under chinese pressure. The movie shows the baloch plight without depicting china. But if chinese see it they will learn about ccp exploitation so they banned it

Pakistan is one of the worst countries to exist yet they have gigantic unsupported superiority complex
