They really ought to try, their soft power in the world is alarmingly bad considering the potential. How on earth is Occupied Korean media more widespread and mainstream than Chinese?
They don’t even have to try an project any soft power. Merely if Chinese people stop consuming Western media for some reason, Hollywood etc. will be hit significantly.
There are systemic barriers for China in this regard that occupied Korea doesn’t have to deal with. If Chinese media gets too big western countries can just decide to shut them out, ban them from entering the western media space, and they can apply pressure on non-Western countries to do so as well under the pretext that Chinese cinema is a vehicle for “CCP propaganda” (which is pure projection considering the incestuous relationship that Hollywood has with the US military industrial complex and its involvement with the liberal regime change industry).
yall have no idea how mad I was that I couldn’t see 30000 miles from Chang’an on big screen theaters when it came out because no theaters in the US was putting it on, at least in my area. tbh I was surprised that Nezha 2 is getting any screens in the US now
That’s how i feel right now sitting in the EU about Ne Zha 2. It’s like, here’s one movie that i actually don’t want to pirate, but i can’t pay to see it…it’s beyond stupid.
