(Newser) – China is certainly not embarrassed by the bad PR it got when Christian Bale was attacked while trying to visit dissident Chen Guangcheng, but Bale should be embarrassed, a Chinese government spokesman says. While the actor was invited to attend the opening ceremony for a film, "he was not invited to create a story or shoot film in a certain village," says the spokesman. "I think if you want to make up news in China, you will not be welcome here."

Yes, that punk Bale should be embarrassed, and banned from China forever.
