Maybe it's my dumb westerner worldview speaking, but I feel like just a few years ago china was mainly known for bootlegs and knock offs in terms of game development. I'm happy they're making really cool games like this and others these days.

There's been some incredible movies from mainland China over the years, they're just often overlooked in the West. Anything by Jia Zhangke is phenomenal, particularly 24 City. Long Day's Journey into Night was an indie darling and has a truly breathtaking last 40 minutes all done in a single take. And An Elephant Sitting Still is one of the best movies of the 21st century thus far. They don't need an A24 production company because the quality of films some folks in China are putting out is already there, just need better buzz.
I think they might need to relax some of their censorship laws and overcome some of their taboos to do a true A24 like movie tbh (I'm probably wrong about that).
Edit: Ty for showing how I'm wrong about this.

I pulled an American my bad.
See this comment for details, but they already have those types of movies. Censorship and taboo isn't a concern here, the indie movie scene in China is already developed.

Aw fuck, thanks for letting me know. Changing it now!
EDIT: wait lol how do I link to that comment, I feel confused.
Ty. I glad I was wrong.
:sankara-salute: There's some seriously good cinema from China that I'm excited for you to check out!
I definitely have an unfortunately western view of China (like most other Americans). I'm glad you corrected me. I hope more good cinema from China becomes talked about (maybe even a Parasite big film).
