Yeah but presumably they watch the film, so what's the point in changing the poster

Once they bought the tickets, Disney doesn't care if they hate the characters. They got the money. They don't need people to enjoy the film or the characters. They just need tickets sold.

There are a bunch of English posters without his face as well.

The west prioritises showing the faces of actors and China apparently doesn't or they do with stars that are known in China.

If he was a nobody in the USA it's much more likely that he would have a mask.

OR, they hide black people on the posters to make China happy.

Yes that's possible but there is no evidence of that being the case. So why jump to conclusions?
