The film even drew support from the incoming environment minister, Chen Jining, who compared it to Rachel Carson’s influential book Silent Spring. Despite – or perhaps because of – this response, “Under the Dome” and related commentary have been removed from China’s media.
《穹顶之下》引起了极大的热议。该片甚至得到了即将上任的环保部长陈吉宁的支持，他将该片与蕾切尔·卡尔森（Rachel Carson）的名著《寂静的春天》（Silent Spring）相提并论。尽管反响如此热烈——或许正因如此——《穹顶之下》以及相关评论已被中国媒体禁播。
