It felt weird to see such a good episode from South Park after how much they have lost touch with reality at some point.

Well .. subjectively I did not find it very funny so maybe not an all time high episode, but the critic was absolutely on point and something that very few people are talking about.

China has a lot of control on what can be included in a hollywood movie.

Propaganda is not exactly new ... after all the US army also has a lot of control when they give support to a movie and demand that they are portrayed favorably but this time it is from one country to another.

"but this time it is from one country to another"

Isn't Hollywood the same?

You said, with regards to China influencing things in the US: "Propaganda is not exactly new ... after all the US army also has a lot of control when they give support to a movie and demand that they are portrayed favorably but [this time it is from one country to another]"

I'm pointing out though that the influence the US has through Hollywood is effectively global, and therefore also "from one country to another".
