Fictional/cultural portrayals of concepts like monarchy are probably only harmful to the extent the audience has no serious education on the topic. It may not be an issue in China if they have a higher level of political education among everyday people.

True, and I was thinking that kind of education can help people think critically about the setting the monarch is in and how advanced the productive forces are. After all, I think feudalism was once a progressive force against slave society much like how capitalism was once progressive against feudalism. Once we live under communism for a long time, positive portrayals of early socialism may similarly be seen as regressive to the uneducated.
