- matthest 2y agoI don't buy this narrative, even as a Chinese American. There are a ton of viral videos on YouTube about people travelling the most beautiful parts of China. Free for everyone to consume. Chinese movies/shows just kind of suck, especially compared to the quality of Kdramas and anime.
- momo_hn2025 2y agoLet's be real, the top talent in China flocks to the tech world – internet, manufacturing, the whole shebang. Entertainment? Not so much. That industry's heavily regulated, you know? Look at what they've achieved: drones, electric vehicles, solar power, robotics... You could even say China basically "outsourced" entertainment to the West and East Asia.
- n144q 2y agoDo you have any concrete examples of Chinese culture elements as popular as anime that is "supressed" in the US?
- throwawayq3423 2y agoI am also interested because I would love to explore it.
- vaer-k 2y agoTiktok and communism are the first things that come to mind
- ric2b 2y agoTikTok wasn't being supressed and Communist doesn't originate from China.
- throwawayq3423 2y agoAnd TikTok doesn't create content, it distributes it. And TikTok is banned in China.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoSuppression can only go so far against really impressive works. Consider how even the Iron Curtain had trouble keeping them out, and today's USA has no such walls, but instead, an impressive cultural industry of its own. (Or was that your point ?)
