If you could bankroll it yourself, nothing would stop you --you might have some problem getting big names to sign up. I don't think the CCP would be so petty to come after you abroad for something like this. Big entertainment would not touch it, if they have business in China. So you might be able to get indie houses to play it along with independent domestic distributors. And, oh, don't travel to China after that.

I wonder if YouTube would let it be or pull it with some twisted excuse? That's a lot of audience.

  I think they'd allow it. You can watch Death by China on YouTube, the film production of the book by Peter Navarro, which was narrated by Martin Sheen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMlmjXtnIXI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMlmjXtnIXI

  Does youtube even care? Aren't there a lot of anti-china documentaries/videos on youtube? Or do you think that those flew under the radar because they're not popular enough?

    Not completely equal but youtube did block "Innocence of Muslims" in multiple countries.

      They only blocked it after Obama and Hillary (falsely) blamed the video for the 2012 Benghazi attack.

    Most of the Youtubers who document what goes on in China are regularly demonetized. The CCP knows how to use Youtube's rules against creators.

The CCP has teams of operatives working overseas specifically for this purpose [2]. If they will physically attack you for writing a few posts on a forum, you should certainly expect to be murdered by "car accident" while raising funds for a $100 million film.
