Why "Red Dawn" Remake Release Was Delayed Empty

I've discovered some interesting trivia about the 2012 remake to 1984's "Red Dawn".
The original release date was set to be released over a year ago, but was delayed.
Why you must ask?
It's because the enemy in the film was originally the Chinese.
Fearing a possible political backlash from China, the makers of the film digitally replaced Chinese markings to North Korean markings.

I keep asking myself why would China be so pissed-off about a fictional American movie?
In the past, America made numerous movies about the Vietnam War (Platoon, We Were Soldiers, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, Full Metal Jacket, etc).
Q: Did Vietnam go to war with us again because of we made these films?
A: No, they just banned the films from being released in their country.

I can only imagine....China sees this Red Dawn movie, then gets pissed that *they* were the enemy, and they all go "Those U.S bastards.....hey, wait a sec.....they owe us billions of dollars don't they? I think it's about time they paid up, don'tcha think?"

Werent Iran pissed about how the persians were depicted in "300"?
But of course Iran and China does not react the same way to movies or provocations.

But since USA is massive debt to China.... maybe someone got worried.

I feel this is an overreaction... but what can you do.

But makes a fun story, thouh.

oh brother, the bigger question isn't why this happend but why it was made to begin with? i loved the original growing up.
since i'm an adult now i don't think i've seen the film in at least 15 years so my thoughts on it may change. but why remake it?

the same argument can be said about Robocop and the list goes on and on etc..
