Well one is good and the other isn’t. Also the changes they made to appease China didn’t really help the movie. They replaced Mushu with a Phoenix but used a Western version of the mythical bird while Mushu was a good example of how Dragons are treated in the East as benevolent beings.
That's the difference right there. Disney wasn't pandering to the Chinese, they were pandering to China, the state. Of course the actual audiences didn't like it, it wasn't made with them in mind.
that's because he's not an idiot and understands that China will bring in waaaaaaay more money than Taiwan. And also, technically he's not wrong, Taiwan officially is not acknowledged as a country, moreover, Taiwan doesn't consider itself an independent country, Taiwan is supposedly "the true China", the rightful ruler of BOTH Taiwan and mainland China
@@1231231233922 exactly. Let's say John Cina says "haha Taiwan is a country for and only for the indigenous, ROC is fake and Chiang Kai Shek is a colonizer!" Can you imagine the number of lawsuit from Diesel, the studio, and everyone else? 10 years of headaches over 1 minute of glory
I feel that the attempts to appeal to China are absurd. China is only the largest box office for their domestic releases. Foreign movies on the other hand as well as foreign influenced movies represent a much smaller portion and for the most part makes far less money than any domestic movie. What makes matters worse is that the movie can be banned on a whim and that makes it extremely risky produce a movie for which your primary audience is going to be a country where you won't even be able to sell your movie. And in recent years, that control has extended to Japan as well.
@@charlesk22 An entire season of anime has to be submitted to the Chinese censor boards for pre-approval before it can be aired there. The anime has to have the entire season produced before a single episode of it is even aired and forces even tougher work schedules. This is part of the reason why a lot more anime is produced in 12-13 episode blocks instead of the old 24-26. This of course also means the anime studio to have to make a censored version exclusive for the Chinese market as well.
That's why companies are more and more focused on Chinese audiences. Because if they can turn that around they will make bank, and making bank is literally all our economy is about. That's the thing about free markets, they're free. Even if in this case its a free market trying to cater to a much less free market.

I'm getting pretty worried that Japan also has to do this in order to sell media content to China.
You should consider covering Helmut Kentler, and the Kentler experiment. It's incredibly unsettling, among other things. It concerns a possibly state-level Human Trafficking ring in Germany, that has little coverage outside of Germany.
Whats this about a "possibly" state level? The dossier has been finnished in 2020 and it contains links to officials And it also has run its course as it was started in the 70s, so even more questionable you use present tense not past tense
@@TheGahta This is a worldwide problem, as Australia has its equivalent. The PM in the 90's John Howard put up a suppression order on evidence that implicates 28 high profile Australians including an ex PM, all pedo's.
None of it is irrational. They make what seem like irrational demands specifically for the purpose of making you fulfill the demand that you know is irrational. Its a known tactic. They are exercising their power to show they have it and you must obey no matter what.
When was the last time you saw a trailer for a movie that is even remotely critical of China? I don't think any of the bit studios have put out something like that in this century.
There's literally only one piece of mainstream media that I know of that did, Fallout, because of the whole backstory involving the American-Sino War. But since Fallout 4, the critique has been mitigated as through Bethesda are trying to retcon their existence.
I remember that exchange in Die Another Day where a chinese agent says "Hong Kong is our turf now Bond" and Bond answers with "Don't worry, I'm not here to take it back". I can't imagine that any modern movies would have been allowed to include that scene.
@@ianmaluk1 Black Ops II had the US in a Cold War with China and while not the main villain's the leader of the Chinese military alliance was still an important antagonist.
They have but it stopped after 2008. Some examples, The first Transformers movie had China being one of the main suspects in the attack on a military base in Qatar at the start of the film, and the United States nearly ends up on the brink of war with China before it is finally revealed to be alien robots. The Departed had a major plot point being the main villain selling microchips to the Chinese Government for their ICBM program. The Dark Knight had a Chinese banker flee to Hong Kong to avoid being prosecuted for laundering the money of the Gotham Mob Families in the US because of the lack of extradition treaties and the entire police force is depicted as corrupt. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor released the same year as the Dark Knight has a fictional version of the founder of the Qing Dynasty (read: Modern China) as the villain wanting to take over the world and Chinese human antagonist. The script actually appeared to be changed to be more critical of China as the Chinese human antagonists were originally Japanese Soldiers when the movie was set during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the final battle would have had Chinese POWs helping the heroes (this was changed to zombies from the laborers who built the original Great Wall)
I read the book, The Martian. I also saw the movie. There is a significant difference towards China in the two works. In the book, the Chinese are not particularly helpful and are given a minimal role. In the movie, which has a number of Chinese backers listed in the opening credits, China has an expanded and positive role in the mission to rescue the main character. To the Chinese government, everything is about optics. To Hollywood studios, everything is about money.
@@Flanker-NineZero In the movie, China selflessly supplies the rocket to launch a rescue package for Watney. In the book, they do this with a more overtly political and less selfless attitude, which doesn't paint them in a heroic light. Again, it's all bout optics.
@@Flanker-NineZero they're not an intimate part of the story, but the Chinese heavily lend their support in the mission to save the astronaut, for which everyone is said to be extremely grateful. It might have only been just a line or two of dialog, but that is part of the story.
@@Tyler_W Heavily, and it's not just a line or two. After the US rocket with supply explode. The China National Space Administration in Beijing is watching the news. (CNN go figure) And they happen to be working on a classified booster (Taiyang Shen, which translate to "The Sun God" because of course), seemingly better than NASA's, that could save the day. And although is classified so no one outside of CNSA knows. They decide to oh-so-charitably offer it to NASA. NASA heads travel to Beijing and the lunch with supply is done there.
it would be great. Sad part is China produces close to everything and everyone buys from them, concentrating the capital there. If countries want capital back, they gotta negociate with China...
@@Vic_Trip it is nice to see more and more companies moving manufacturing out of china. I am excited to see that trend continue. It's a slow, but gradually building, process. And sign of hope.
@@kungfuskull Look up a channel called ADV China its a couple guys that have lived for over a decade in China (not anymore) and give a much more up close and personal look into what the Chinese censors don't want told about the country. I'm starting to wonder if companies are starting to see the threat that China actually is. I know the gov't there is becoming very hostile towards any foreigners.
Let's remember how this guy said no to Raid Shadow Legends which is easily 10k dollars. This dude is a true journalist. In an age where (game) journalism is dead and an utter joke, we should make sure to like and subsribe to this guy's videos. Lets go duds.
Erm…that is sheer stupidity. Tell me how not taking a sponsor makes you a good journalist…go on, tell me…c’mon I’m waiting kid. Utter idiocy. This was a stupid, racist video, and you just proved that only racist idiots watch it.
It's really the government. The average Chinese person isn't uptight like that... though they have been taught to keep their heads down and not criticize the system.
Pretty sure the Chris Hemsworth version was supposed to be China originally but then switched to North Korea because that was supposed to be the new American threat back in the late 2000's.
Spiderman was obviously an impossibility thing. We've all seen how censorious Sony has been in recent years. They have a LOOONG way to go before they get any praise from me.
@@ClibanariusJJ Well considering that cities they build that start crumbling less than a year later... All of those cities that are empty... China is poor. It's the CCP that has all the money.

It should be a badge of honor to be banned from China tbh. It's fucked that they have so much sway over the films and games being produced. Should have mentioned John Cena from Fast and the Furious apologizing in Mandarin.
The issue here is that FAR too much is on the line. Think about it. Companies like Disney are WAY too large, and in WAY too deep with China to allow themselves to get banned. We're talking incomprehensible amounts of money that could cause subsidiary companies / partner companies / third party companies and everyone involved in the production pipeline, regardless of whether it's the entertainment or logistics or sponsorships or whatever to go out of business. I'm going on a tangent, but case in point is, there is just too many people involved.... people that could go out of a job if their company lost that amount of money due to a boycott.... and I think THAT's what UpperEchelon is trying to get at. I'm sorry, but saying that it should be a badge of honor to be banned from China is a VERY childish notion. You really gotta see the bigger problem. Things aren't going to change any time soon unless these mega corporations discover a more reliable source of income.
@@Puppetmaster2005 That makes sense. I understand where you're coming from about a lot of people being involved and therefore a source of income is required. And maybe China is the best market source currently. It might not be possible to find any other source of revenue that matches China's worth. It isn't good for people to get their livings from the profits gained from such immense human suffering.
I remember when I saw The Martian, the big problem was solved when NASA cooperated with the Chinese space agency. At the time I thought it was kinda neat, international cooperation in the interest of scientific advancement in space, but in retrospect...yeah.
@SaltpeterTaffy Co-operation with China to save Watney was the also case in the novel that The Martian is based on, for exactly the reason you stated. But yeah, in real life, the CCP “sees things differently”.
I mean they have had 5000 years of culture and civilization! Clearly they are the true master race we must turn to lead us to the future. The same thing is their Zoomers are eating that shit up.
@Imran Zakhaev American movies having American heroes is natural. American movies inserting a foreign actor artificially in a story which has clearly been done for money isn't.
And most of them do. Age of Extinction and Iron Man 3 had scenes that could easily be removed for domestic release. Also, the Mission Impossible 3 thing is something that tends to happen with any film doing location shoots. Some other examples include Scream where Wes Craven had to film the high school scenes in a different area from the rest of the film as the town he filmed most of the film in, was in the middle of a trial over a school murder that occurred a few years earlier and Spectre had EON having to remove an entire subplot in the Mexico City cold open to remove a corrupt government official character to appease the Mexican Government.
Remember all those people who got exposed and were fleeing the building in TX or something, burning documents? Happened some time in the last year or two perhaps. Crazy how many professors were taking Chinese money and selling out American intellectual property.
Not to mention their "Thousand Talents" program, where they will have Chinese students request to visit universities in other countries in order to learn research and trade secrets, and steal proprietary code, documents, techniques, etc.
There is also a network of building managers , voted in by a biased strata/HOA (wonder who owns those units?), who then provide a primary source for employment to specific persons (maintenance contracts $$$) and more importantly … offer information about units coming up for sale thereby allowing their network to purchase before anyone else (wonder who the agents are also , hmm?)….. well if I was interested in unscrupulously sabotaging a foe , I would use this technique to undermine their local markets and hit them financially and socially. But who knows , if anyone is that smart.
You're thinking of the Confucius Institute -- the thing is that almost everything taught in US schools is a straight fabrication (war propaganda like gulf of Tonkin, Lusitania, stuff that gets auto censored) or lacks critical details to mislead & misdirect (history of slavery, civil rights, political ideology, more automatically censored topics) on its own and in most instances Confucius Institute influence is actually beneficial to the American public.
Is this real? US universities seem like the most woke cesspools imaginiable, which is opposite to Chinese values I'd say. I'd love to learn more about this.

It's frustrating how Hollywood and Disney will ruin a franchise by race and gender swapping characters in the name of diversity. But when it comes to China they will shrink John boyega's face on the Star Wars movie poster because Chinese do not like black people and they covered Chadwick Bowman's face for the Black panther movie poster. Hollywood should stop pandering to China. All of these changes being made to franchises are not improvements and half the time China rejects them anyway. Instead of dumbing down movies for China Maybe they should make better films for Western audiences because the last few years Hollywood has been struggling trying to do that.
Or we could nuke Hollywood and just go back to making good entertainment ourselves. FACTS AND TRUTH. Stop relying on Hollywood - because thanks to them kowtowing / bowing down to China, this is why we have so many SJWs spewing SJWBS in our media. We need more Anti - Disney bills like what DeSantis gave Florida, hard and bitter a pill that is to swallow.
A channel called China Uncensored (or their podcast channel China Unscripted) had a really good video about this particular problem. Or knowing them, probably a dozen.
I’ve known a couple people from china that were good people, I think the general population is decent but the government is absolutely horrendous and I wish more people in the US had the guts to say no to them. When we end up beneath them we will have ourselves to blame, but maybe our people will finally hold the pigs that have ruined all the hard work of our forefathers accountable for all the damage they have done to all of us
When I was growing up we had enough of a backbone to call out China. Heck we used to praise Democracy and hate Communism. Things got really messed up as time passed.
@@Fleshbag453 The reason our country associate the people with the acts of their government is because here in the States we genuinely believe that the masses can control any meaningful actions of a country. Im not sure why we believe something like that considering the Iraq war only ended a decade ago, but regardless, we do.
I think we need to crackdown on them, ban all Chinese imports, no more exports to China, and ban US Corporate Operations in the Country and vice versa with the Chinese ones in the US
The US sold out to China a long time ago. China governs the US, in much more than movies. Industrialism is a huge one, in the sense, the US relies heavily on China for a multitude of necessary manufactured items, only China provides anymore. Things that used to be manufactured in the US, but because the companies could "make them cheaper in China", they shut down the industrial sites in the US, only to relocate to China. Effectively putting millions of US citizens out of work, and at the same time, requiring the US to bend to China's demands, to keep exports and imports running smoothly, at whatever cost to the US. Real estate is another huge one, with China buying up billions in properties, and land all over the world, but heavily focusing on the US, Canada, and Australia. Just to name a few, in no particular order. And they control those running the US government, through bribes, extortion, threats, etc. So, for US citizens to think democracy is actually a real thing, is a joke. To hear China is controlling Hollywood, by what is depicted in movies, to allow movie production studios to release their films there for top dollar, is not surprising to me, in the least...and it shouldn't be to anyone else, with eyes to see, and ears to hear, and with, at least, half a brain's worth of activity going on upstairs. It's horrific to come to this realization, but it is absolutely, 1000%, the truth. That we, as trusting US citizen's, believing in those WE voted into office, in support of their empty promises, and lies for a better tomorrow, sold us the fuck out...a long time ago... It's only a matter of time, when all this will come into full realization for everyone, with every lie exposed, every betrayal uncovered, and just how much we have been deceived, by the very one's we trusted, to keep us and our country safe from all outside invasion. We thought it would be like Pearl Harbor, with planes and tanks, but no... The invasion has been through the internet, social media, and greed. God help us ALL.
The most recent example of this that I have seen is Top Gun Maverick. Where Mavericks jacket in the first movie had Taiwan and Japanese flags on the back. This time around the Japanese flag is defaced and the Taiwanese flag was replaced by soemthing else.
US companies should take a good look at Europe and the effects of tying yourself to one source of resources. Most of Europe bought gas, oil and coal from Russia because it was plentiful and cheaper than the Middle East, but now the big R has been hammered with sanctions for its warmongering, costs for fossil fuels have exploded to the point of borderline panic in half the EU. Because there was no backup plan, no distributed net of suppliers to cushion the effect of one source dropping out. And why? Greed, that's why. If everyone had been honest, Russia should have been slammed like that in 2014 when they annexed the Crim peninsula. But that wasn't enough of a war to risk trade connections for. There will come a time when lusting after that China money (or cheap labor) will bite everyone in the ass like the chip shortage already does.
I agree in general, but 2014 was a pretty big upheaval for the Eastern bloc as a whole. Ukraine suffered a coup sponsored in no small part by the US and a new president was installed who immediately began imprisoning and disappearing his dissenters and political rivals, there was an attempted coup/assassination against Putin, and Crimea (arguably) held a referendum and overwhelmingly agreed to join Russia for economic and military stability. It was Russia's assault on Georgia that was deserving of sanctions and international shunning rather than what was either a peaceful union or some damn good long-term political maneuvering. As for the US, we *had* been rebuilding our local manufacturing and drilling our own oil to become independent from OPEC, Russia and China. Our new administration destroyed all of that and took away existing sanctions on Russia in order to begin buying oil from them.
Their influence in media might be growing...but what person in the west really still watch hollywood products? I have not seen a movie in like 7 years by now... and I doubt it that I am the only one.
Do you... know anything about the Soviet-Sino split? Anything from that era in the Cold War and all? A lotta 'commies' were fighting other ostensible 'commies'. Hell, Vietnam knocked off Pol Pot, a 'commie' himself, after the Vietnamese reunification following America's defeat there.

This video reminds me of the UA-camr Bart baker. His channel focused on music comedy. He would make parodies of songs from Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj etc. Then one year he just stopped making videos on his channel and decided to move to China. Now he’s doing Chinese propaganda(i’ve seen the video and it was creepy). It really bums me out that more and more companies are selling their soul to the evil communist regime.
im not sure about that growing part. From everything i've seen, the entertainment industry at least is slowly, but surely starting to wake up to the fact that china is simply too finiky, arbitrary and unpredictable to truly invest into. mind you it's a slow process, but it does seem to be happening.
It was only a matter of time. China has had a lot of control over the gaming industry for years now, they're constantly making subtle moves on the board. Meanwhile, America is busy causing inner turmoil and trying to find "innovative" ways to profit off of its own people, instead of investing in them. I wonder how things will be a decade from now.
Lots of movies started filming in China as well. Cheap labor for set building and tons of space for location shooting. And China gets beauty shots of Shanghai in The Dark Knight.

I liked 2012... I actually thought it was very logical that the barges were built in China. They would want to get their elite onto them and where else could they be hidden? Along with having the workforce to make them in the first place. So honestly, I thought that was a good inclusion. Some of the others, not so much.
This really bugs me. I would argue China is far worse or at least on par with Russia but China is treated completely differently in media. Who were the bad guys almost every modern call of duty and now battlefield 2042? Oh Russia. The movies Arrival and The Martian, China contributes or outright saves the day. One example I’ll never forget is the Red Dawn remake where the invading army was China and the studio was forced to change it to North Korea. A hilarious and improbable scenario. I know it’s business and not personal but as an American I wish Hollywood would just say pound sand China we’ll be fine without you but no it’s always how can we kowtow to the Chinese more with this new release
Russia is not bad guy in every modern Call of Duty. Outside of the first Black Ops, the Russian antagonists (when they have them and not have them be other nationalities) are non-state-sponsored independent actors. Also China was one of the antagonist in Black Ops II.

Whats this about a "possibly" state level? The dossier has been finnished in 2020 and it contains links to officials

When was the last time you saw a trailer for a movie that is even remotely critical of China? I don't think any of the bit studios have put out something like that in this century.
There's literally only one piece of mainstream media that I know of that did, Fallout, because of the whole backstory involving the American-Sino War. But since Fallout 4, the critique has been mitigated as through Bethesda are trying to retcon their existence.
I remember that exchange in Die Another Day where a chinese agent says "Hong Kong is our turf now Bond" and Bond answers with "Don't worry, I'm not here to take it back".
I can't imagine that any modern movies would have been allowed to include that scene.
@@Bmetalful Because Israel isn't like China at all.
@@ianmaluk1 Black Ops II had the US in a Cold War with China and while not the main villain's the leader of the Chinese military alliance was still an important antagonist.
They have but it stopped after 2008. Some examples, The first Transformers movie had China being one of the main suspects in the attack on a military base in Qatar at the start of the film, and the United States nearly ends up on the brink of war with China before it is finally revealed to be alien robots.
The Departed had a major plot point being the main villain selling microchips to the Chinese Government for their ICBM program.
The Dark Knight had a Chinese banker flee to Hong Kong to avoid being prosecuted for laundering the money of the Gotham Mob Families in the US because of the lack of extradition treaties and the entire police force is depicted as corrupt.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor released the same year as the Dark Knight has a fictional version of the founder of the Qing Dynasty (read: Modern China) as the villain wanting to take over the world and Chinese human antagonist. The script actually appeared to be changed to be more critical of China as the Chinese human antagonists were originally Japanese Soldiers when the movie was set during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the final battle would have had Chinese POWs helping the heroes (this was changed to zombies from the laborers who built the original Great Wall)
I read the book, The Martian. I also saw the movie. There is a significant difference towards China in the two works. In the book, the Chinese are not particularly helpful and are given a minimal role. In the movie, which has a number of Chinese backers listed in the opening credits, China has an expanded and positive role in the mission to rescue the main character. To the Chinese government, everything is about optics. To Hollywood studios, everything is about money.
I've seen the movie twice and don't remember the Chinese at all. Can you elaborate?
@@Flanker-NineZero In the movie, China selflessly supplies the rocket to launch a rescue package for Watney. In the book, they do this with a more overtly political and less selfless attitude, which doesn't paint them in a heroic light. Again, it's all bout optics.
@@josephmassaro Huh. Go figure. Now that you mention it, I have a vague recollection of this. Thanks.
@@Flanker-NineZero they're not an intimate part of the story, but the Chinese heavily lend their support in the mission to save the astronaut, for which everyone is said to be extremely grateful. It might have only been just a line or two of dialog, but that is part of the story.
@@Tyler_W Heavily, and it's not just a line or two. After the US rocket with supply explode. The China National Space Administration in Beijing is watching the news. (CNN go figure) And they happen to be working on a classified booster (Taiyang Shen, which translate to "The Sun God" because of course), seemingly better than NASA's, that could save the day. And although is classified so no one outside of CNSA knows. They decide to oh-so-charitably offer it to NASA. NASA heads travel to Beijing and the lunch with supply is done there.
-100000 Credit Score.

It should be a badge of honor to be banned from China tbh. It's fucked that they have so much sway over the films and games being produced. Should have mentioned John Cena from Fast and the Furious apologizing in Mandarin.
Bing Chilling
The issue here is that FAR too much is on the line. Think about it. Companies like Disney are WAY too large, and in WAY too deep with China to allow themselves to get banned. We're talking incomprehensible amounts of money that could cause subsidiary companies / partner companies / third party companies and everyone involved in the production pipeline, regardless of whether it's the entertainment or logistics or sponsorships or whatever to go out of business. I'm going on a tangent, but case in point is, there is just too many people involved.... people that could go out of a job if their company lost that amount of money due to a boycott.... and I think THAT's what UpperEchelon is trying to get at.
I'm sorry, but saying that it should be a badge of honor to be banned from China is a VERY childish notion. You really gotta see the bigger problem. Things aren't going to change any time soon unless these mega corporations discover a more reliable source of income.
@@Puppetmaster2005 That makes sense. I understand where you're coming from about a lot of people being involved and therefore a source of income is required. And maybe China is the best market source currently. It might not be possible to find any other source of revenue that matches China's worth. It isn't good for people to get their livings from the profits gained from such immense human suffering.
For a 老鬼, his 普通话 was okay.
well China probably wont have too much control over the gaming sector if they keep up with these gaming restrictions for kids.
I remember when I saw The Martian, the big problem was solved when NASA cooperated with the Chinese space agency. At the time I thought it was kinda neat, international cooperation in the interest of scientific advancement in space, but in retrospect...yeah.
@SaltpeterTaffy Co-operation with China to save Watney was the also case in the novel that The Martian is based on, for exactly the reason you stated.
But yeah, in real life, the CCP “sees things differently”.
I was "redpilled" when I noticed the increasing trend of "the smart stoic Chinese character" or "advance China saves the day" SO so so many times.
I mean they have had 5000 years of culture and civilization! Clearly they are the true master race we must turn to lead us to the future. The same thing is their Zoomers are eating that shit up.

@Imran Zakhaev American movies having American heroes is natural. American movies inserting a foreign actor artificially in a story which has clearly been done for money isn't.
It’s best to focus on your local audiences, with international ones being a nice bonus at most.
"But the potential profits! MONEY!!", every big corpo ever.
And most of them do. Age of Extinction and Iron Man 3 had scenes that could easily be removed for domestic release. Also, the Mission Impossible 3 thing is something that tends to happen with any film doing location shoots. Some other examples include Scream where Wes Craven had to film the high school scenes in a different area from the rest of the film as the town he filmed most of the film in, was in the middle of a trial over a school murder that occurred a few years earlier and Spectre had EON having to remove an entire subplot in the Mexico City cold open to remove a corrupt government official character to appease the Mexican Government.

You should look into Chinese influence on US universities including the professors themselves.
Remember all those people who got exposed and were fleeing the building in TX or something, burning documents? Happened some time in the last year or two perhaps. Crazy how many professors were taking Chinese money and selling out American intellectual property.
Not to mention their "Thousand Talents" program, where they will have Chinese students request to visit universities in other countries in order to learn research and trade secrets, and steal proprietary code, documents, techniques, etc.
There is also a network of building managers , voted in by a biased strata/HOA (wonder who owns those units?), who then provide a primary source for employment to specific persons (maintenance contracts $$$) and more importantly … offer information about units coming up for sale thereby allowing their network to purchase before anyone else (wonder who the agents are also , hmm?)….. well if I was interested in unscrupulously sabotaging a foe , I would use this technique to undermine their local markets and hit them financially and socially. But who knows , if anyone is that smart.
You're thinking of the Confucius Institute -- the thing is that almost everything taught in US schools is a straight fabrication (war propaganda like gulf of Tonkin, Lusitania, stuff that gets auto censored) or lacks critical details to mislead & misdirect (history of slavery, civil rights, political ideology, more automatically censored topics) on its own and in most instances Confucius Institute influence is actually beneficial to the American public.
Is this real? US universities seem like the most woke cesspools imaginiable, which is opposite to Chinese values I'd say. I'd love to learn more about this.

It's frustrating how Hollywood and Disney will ruin a franchise by race and gender swapping characters in the name of diversity. But when it comes to China they will shrink John boyega's face on the Star Wars movie poster because Chinese do not like black people and they covered Chadwick Bowman's face for the Black panther movie poster. Hollywood should stop pandering to China. All of these changes being made to franchises are not improvements and half the time China rejects them anyway. Instead of dumbing down movies for China Maybe they should make better films for Western audiences because the last few years Hollywood has been struggling trying to do that.
that's cuz diversity doesn't pay as much as china.
They only care about Chinese $$$$.
Or we could nuke Hollywood and just go back to making good entertainment ourselves. FACTS AND TRUTH. Stop relying on Hollywood - because thanks to them kowtowing / bowing down to China, this is why we have so many SJWs spewing SJWBS in our media.
We need more Anti - Disney bills like what DeSantis gave Florida, hard and bitter a pill that is to swallow.

There is nothing wrong with drying laundry. Chinese fancypants people were ashamed that some people did not have dryers. Crazy.
The US sold out to China a long time ago. China governs the US, in much more than movies.
Industrialism is a huge one, in the sense, the US relies heavily on China for a multitude of necessary manufactured items, only China provides anymore. Things that used to be manufactured in the US, but because the companies could "make them cheaper in China", they shut down the industrial sites in the US, only to relocate to China.
Effectively putting millions of US citizens out of work, and at the same time, requiring the US to bend to China's demands, to keep exports and imports running smoothly, at whatever cost to the US.
Real estate is another huge one, with China buying up billions in properties, and land all over the world, but heavily focusing on the US, Canada, and Australia. Just to name a few, in no particular order.
And they control those running the US government, through bribes, extortion, threats, etc. So, for US citizens to think democracy is actually a real thing, is a joke.
To hear China is controlling Hollywood, by what is depicted in movies, to allow movie production studios to release their films there for top dollar, is not surprising to me, in the least...and it shouldn't be to anyone else, with eyes to see, and ears to hear, and with, at least, half a brain's worth of activity going on upstairs.
It's horrific to come to this realization, but it is absolutely, 1000%, the truth.
That we, as trusting US citizen's, believing in those WE voted into office, in support of their empty promises, and lies for a better tomorrow, sold us the fuck out...a long time ago...
It's only a matter of time, when all this will come into full realization for everyone, with every lie exposed, every betrayal uncovered, and just how much we have been deceived, by the very one's we trusted, to keep us and our country safe from all outside invasion.
We thought it would be like Pearl Harbor, with planes and tanks, but no...
The invasion has been through the internet, social media, and greed.
God help us ALL.
And this would explain why Hollywood is dying.
The most recent example of this that I have seen is Top Gun Maverick. Where Mavericks jacket in the first movie had Taiwan and Japanese flags on the back. This time around the Japanese flag is defaced and the Taiwanese flag was replaced by soemthing else.
Kinda sad how spineless those companies are
US companies should take a good look at Europe and the effects of tying yourself to one source of resources. Most of Europe bought gas, oil and coal from Russia because it was plentiful and cheaper than the Middle East, but now the big R has been hammered with sanctions for its warmongering, costs for fossil fuels have exploded to the point of borderline panic in half the EU. Because there was no backup plan, no distributed net of suppliers to cushion the effect of one source dropping out. And why? Greed, that's why. If everyone had been honest, Russia should have been slammed like that in 2014 when they annexed the Crim peninsula. But that wasn't enough of a war to risk trade connections for.
There will come a time when lusting after that China money (or cheap labor) will bite everyone in the ass like the chip shortage already does.
I agree in general, but 2014 was a pretty big upheaval for the Eastern bloc as a whole. Ukraine suffered a coup sponsored in no small part by the US and a new president was installed who immediately began imprisoning and disappearing his dissenters and political rivals, there was an attempted coup/assassination against Putin, and Crimea (arguably) held a referendum and overwhelmingly agreed to join Russia for economic and military stability. It was Russia's assault on Georgia that was deserving of sanctions and international shunning rather than what was either a peaceful union or some damn good long-term political maneuvering.
As for the US, we *had* been rebuilding our local manufacturing and drilling our own oil to become independent from OPEC, Russia and China. Our new administration destroyed all of that and took away existing sanctions on Russia in order to begin buying oil from them.

It's happening way too late, way too slowly.
It was only a matter of time. China has had a lot of control over the gaming industry for years now, they're constantly making subtle moves on the board. Meanwhile, America is busy causing inner turmoil and trying to find "innovative" ways to profit off of its own people, instead of investing in them. I wonder how things will be a decade from now.

Who were the bad guys almost every modern call of duty and now battlefield 2042? Oh Russia. The movies Arrival and The Martian, China contributes or outright saves the day. One example I’ll never forget is the Red Dawn remake where the invading army was China and the studio was forced to change it to North Korea. A hilarious and improbable scenario. I know it’s business and not personal but as an American I wish Hollywood would just say pound sand China we’ll be fine without you but no it’s always how can we kowtow to the Chinese more with this new release
Because they want the Chinese money.
The reason China has such different treatment is because they have a shit ton of money made from slavery and copying .
Russia is not bad guy in every modern Call of Duty. Outside of the first Black Ops, the Russian antagonists (when they have them and not have them be other nationalities) are non-state-sponsored independent actors. Also China was one of the antagonist in Black Ops II.
