Java generics type erasure

I'd like to ask about java type erasure rules.

If we have classes:

public class Shape{}
public class Circle extends Shape{}


public class Base<T extends Shape>{
    T x;
    public void setX(T t){}
}

public class MainClass(){
    public static void main(String... _arg){
         Base<? extends Shape> bs = new Base<Circle>(); 
         bs.setX(new Circle()); // <- compilation problem
    }
}

Can you please explain me why calling setX() method causes compilation problem?
