I'm afraid that's not true. While it is sometimes touted that American TV shows like "Dallas" did that to European communist states, in China it's not because Chinese don't actually allow American/ Western TV shows and movies. Even American celebrities for the most part are completely unknown to Chinese people.
Like, for instance, "The Big Bang Theory" is not allowed in China and few movies that they allow in China must be some dumb movies and they have to feature Chinese characters.
On the other hand, maybe they do watch some of the forbidden shows on black market, but I imagine that would not be a lot of people considering language and cultural barriers.
Also, I think Chinese people don't lack much stuff, like they did in Europe, but rather some personal freedoms.
I love you FM, but you need better sources.
