Chinese streaming edition of Fight Club has new ending where state authorities triumph

I absolutely hated the end of the 2000 movie Rules of Engagement where, after Samuel L Jackson’s character was found not guilty for (the quite inexcusable) mass murder of protesters at an embassy in Yemen, the epilogue states that two other characters were found guilty of destroying exculpatory evidence.

Jackson’s character was presented as the hero of the blatantly anti-Arab movie. Really bad stuff, and the text of the epilogue wasn’t it’s biggest sin, but it felt tacked-on and just added insult to injury.

The epilogue text at the end of 2000’s Unbreakable movie describing how Samuel L Jackson’s character was caught by police and locked up in an asylum was pretty bad too. What was the deal with putting epilogue text at the end of movies starring that guy at that time?
