While I've seen a few donghua with very distinctly Chinese art/animation styles (e.g. Fog Hill of Five Elements), the majority don't diverge all that much from styles that exist in other animated works made outside of China and I don't really see that changing in the future. For the most part, the more prominent "Chinese" features of donghua besides the language are in the non-visual aspects of the work which is what makes a lot of them feel rather refreshing to me as someone who has watched a ton of anime over the years. I'm also hopeful that with the enormous amount of resources being put into this, stuff like R&D, more funding towards original content, and decent wages will have positive effects on the animation industry as a whole.
