> But Disney doesn’t just make movies, they own ABC, and ABC has a news channel. NBC Universal puts out movies and wants access to the China market, but they also run MSNBC and NBC News. CNN is owned by the same conglomerate as HBO and the Discovery channel. So far, all these news stations still run critical reporting about China, and good for them. It's easy to brush off Disney not putting Chinese villains in their movies as inconsequential, but this could easily extend to influencing American media. It can start with preventing criticism of Chinese domestic issues, but can easily extend to psy-ops or pretty much anything. I don't have faith that large corporate CEOs have any well defined line they're willing to draw when it comes to getting orders from China. We've already seen the influence China has over the WHO, which is odd since they only contribute $57M to the organization, compared to $116M by the US, $29M by Germany and $22M by UK.
