The example in your comment is not specific to China, or even to present days. If you look at the history, the media narrative aligns to the status quo. One difference is that nowadays China gained enough political and economic power to be part of the world leaders. So companies doing business there care about not offending their audience. Take a look how movies in the 80s depict enemies: Latin America (all narcos or corrupt), Russia or Eastern Europe (cold and ruthless KBG agents), China (mafias that love occultism or rare rituals). Besides the occasional killer, it’s rare to find a big Hollywood production that offends the US or Western Europe audience. Producers will not risk to put tons of money in a script that may be offensive or politically uncomfortable.
