Me: "That's pretty spineless, but not atypical."

Sorta like how if you wanted to remove any references to Dumbledore's sexuality from the books all you gotta do is remove Rowling's tweets.

Incase people don't know, China has rules against a lot of stupid stuff in movies. If companies don't remove anything China doesn't like, the movie will be banned in China. So movie companies will remove easy to remove stuff after release (like 6 seconds of dialog) or even shoot their movies to cater to China in the first place, since China is one of the biggest markets.

Reminds me of how Avengers Endgame put out advertising before release that it had Marvel's first gay character and it was literally a 1 second offhand reference that could be removed simply by overdubbing the film and changing pronouns.

If that's all it was then it seems like it was kind of a pointless little nod anyway tbh
