Besides obvious sites like military sites, are there any sites or anything else that he should avoid so he won't get in trouble and his film won't be confiscated?
I would avoid filming govt buildings, people in uniform, power plants, (security) at airports, train stations, anything
remotely resembling military. Other than that, public filming in general is more accepted in China than here in US.
One time I got a complaint from a location in Beijing while filming a monk, who had been paid quite a bit of money. So paid the temple a couple hundred rmb and they were happy.
