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.

    Holy shit that law is literally "no government support if China gets to vet our propaganda."

        You can CGI some jet fighters, but you can't CGI a billion consumers into existence.

          Akshully all Chinese are CG and paid actors because nobody could possibly be content and optimistic without the trappings of liberal democracy!
