At some point after 2008, I want to say around 2010 or 2012, Hollywood started putting China in their movies more. The ones that stick out to me are Transformers (the first one with Wahlberg), The Martian, Avengers 2, Looper. There are more.
I know Disney tried really hard with Mulan but failed. There was that big Chinese-produced movie with Matt Damon, no idea how well that did.
When do you think this thing will stop and go the other way? At some point Hollywood libs are going to fall in line. When will they give up on China as a market and make money off not only ignoring their market but also insulting their market? I can see a big return of the 80s action movie aesthetic with Chinese bad guys and advanced foreign invaders.
why would they give up on the chinese market? are chinese audiences going to stop watching american movies? are they going to stop being profit-seeking enterprises? is the US government gonna impose sanctions on companies that do any business in china for some reason?

The other way to see this is that Hollywood is going to have to pander even harder to get thos precious Yuans they want from Chinese audiences.
China's box office market is now larger than America's. It'd be more economically rational to decouple from the US than China, if push came to shove.
Realistically, most studios would probably just reincorporate in Canada and sell to both.
