Bear with me, on this boba liberal's video.

She talks a bit about restriction, censorship, and standardization of exported media by the ebil CCP /s, but rather focuses it on its consequent dullness, on-the-nose approach and cheapening of its media products...

How would you respond to this, point by point? (Sorry if I may sound like I argue in bad-faith)

Additional thanks if you don't rely too much on whataboutism (yes, we can apply the artificial-politics-imposed media label, associated with CPC, on U.S media, like G.I Joe and Rambo, some of them even funded by the Department of Defense)

I can see that, but besides hard power like economics and geopolitics, what are some examples of these cool things, if not shared trends and memes? Of course, without too much of the western hegemonic influence.

    If we're talking about cultural exports, then I would highlight the three body trilogy, which is a Sci-fi trilogy which actually did become quite popular in the west. China of course also has quite a big gaming industry (genshin).
