Pulled TV Drama Replays

A Chinese television drama that was pulled off the air for "technical reasons" after the characters were shown in revealing clothing is now back on TV showing only the actor's heads.
某国产电视剧人物衣着暴露，在因“技术原因”叫停后目前已经恢复播出，不过画面仅呈现肩膀以上的近景。

The television drama(电视剧) , "The Empress of China" also known as the "Saga of Wu Zetian"(武则天传奇) , highlights the life of China's only known empress(女皇). It began broadcasting(播出) on Dec. 21, 2014, but was removed(停播) a week later by commercial satellite station Hunan TV for "technical reasons."

Many viewers speculated(推测) the suspension was a punishment(惩罚) given by the country's television regulators for the much-discussed(热议的) revealing costumes(暴露的服装) of female characters on the show, which stirred online debate in which the female characters were dubbed "squeezed breasts."

The show began to air(播出) once again on Thursday, but with edited scenes(编辑画面) that show only the character's heads.

The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television has not responded to inquiries(疑问).
