Trump Trade War Starts to Threaten Hollywood’s Business in China

[Feng Leng]

Back in the 1990s, Greater China's soft power was on par with anything in the world. Hong Kong made great cinema. Taiwan made great music. Since the 1990s, both Hong Kong and Taiwan have stagnated. Mainland media is still pretty bad on average although patriotic movies like Wolf Warrior, the Taking of Tiger Mountain and The Message are absolutely top notch.

I don't respect India for many things but Indian media went from total garbage in the 1990s to pretty good today. Their storylines are not so cliched and their writing and acting is solid. China should pay good money to learn how Bollywood succeeded.

The truth hurts!

Name a single product that China has developed in the last 200 years that revolutionized the globe?

only watched first few seasons of SG Atlantis, they make passable entertainment.

I was referring to the 1994 original movie, But I was also a fan of Stargate Atlantis and found it more than passable.

Yes it absolutely matters. China hasn't shown the ability to develop revolutionary products that advance human society. The US has in abundance. Relying on stolen American know how will only take you so far.

We have the spirit of innovation which will ultimately lead to the CCP's defeat....no matter if its tomorrow or 200 years from now. We've left a long list of countries in the dust....your simply next on the list.

While China was groveling in dirt, we set foot on the Moon.

﹉By working with nazi criminal scientists and call yourself free and democratic country, today US still work. with country like Saudi Arabia whose political system can not be worse but American seems blind with it.
Very good American Freedom and democracy, Hahahahaha , Freedom and democracy my asssssss.

Being the first at something is no guarantor of future success.

McDonald’s didn't invent the burger and fries.

Google was not the first search engine.

Myspace came before Facebook and Twitter.

The first IBM PC, formally known as the IBM Model 5150, was introduced in 1981. Does IBM still make PCs today?

Here's what Steve Jobs said about Android:

“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,” Jobs said. “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”

Hollywood has entertained billions of people for the last century....and brought untold amounts of joy to people of all ages.

The impact it has had globally really says it all.

More like acted as a subversive entity in western culture since the dawn of the cold war

We would seriously be better off without movies the like of Forrest Gump, Aliens, The Apartment etc etc.

The reason you have a tranny, divorce, women, immigration crisis in the west? Look no further than Hollywood for mushing the minds of Americans over the course of decades, slowly acclimating them to accept social norms that would otherwise be rejected in a saner past.

But no, just watch your Star Wars and go about as a materialistic bugman who replaces real life interaction and experiences with fake stories about women's empowerment in a fake world.

then how come there were no ground breaking innovations coming from America in the last 2 decades? what ever field US may have a lead, is coming to a halt. basically you just sitting there waiting for China to catch up

blame your own incompetence for that

This is so true, the Rey from Star war made no sense at all who instantly mastered everything without explaination. The Marvel movies are now heading to pure political propaganda other than entertainment. The Asgardians are now muti-race people even they are based on Norse gods. Female characters are very OP while powerful male characters are downplayed, like becoming drunk, fat or simply stupid, that totally disrespect the original sources. American movies are still dominating the world, but by forcefully injecting politics into their movies, sure their quality have to be suffered.

Do you guys realize STAR WARS Ep VII-IX's storyline is a rip off of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? (There's a new adaptation came out this year). Anyways the character Rey is actually Zhang Wuji (with sex change). Her parents died, has an old hermit (Luke is actually Zhang Sanfeng) for a master etc. That's why Rey easily masters everything coz that's what Zhang Wuji does... Anyways EpVII-IX is just a poor imitation of Heaven Sword (blue lightsaber) and Dragon Saber (red lightsaber).

BTW, STAR WARS had been ripping off from the same author of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber ever since Episode IV. EpI-VI is just a poor imitation of Condor Heroes that leaves out the story of Guo Jing and focuses on the story of Yang Kang (Anakin) and Yang Guo (Luke). Plus obsessed with people losing their arm like in Condor Heroes Return... Have to remember Condor Heroes was published in HK when still under British control, so the Jews thought of to exploit everything from there including culture, literature, etc.

I find Games of Thrones a rip off of Romance of the three kingdoms and other Chinese historical novels.

nope.

the author has already stated that his inspiration was Britain itself.

the map of Game of thrones is a magnifestation of the map of UK

E.g the Wall = Hadrians wall in cumberland

king's landing = london

I'm not saying the areas but you can see from the kingdoms that it's just a dumb down version of rip off of various events from three kingdoms .
I doubt any western author would admit they got ideas from a Chinese

Trump is acting like that class bully who says "pehli bating meri kio kai bat mera hai" he doesn't understands the implications of screwing with china both on micro as well as on macro scale
