How does this square with Hollywood's bending towards China? Or, the fact that Hollywood is fully independent from the US government?
It doesn't. Hollywood is private and profit-seeking. They will soon start paying more attention to the demands of the Chinese government than they ever did to the US government. Because that's where the future growth in revenue is.
Great question ...
(In fact, I've been waiting for the entrance into the worldwide "mainstream" of big Chinese productions ...
... ostensibly showcasing different values / agendas ...)
It's not like the US government pursued, investigated, or ran smear campaigns against people in the entertainment industry, right?
Content as psy-ops. That's a thought ...

Is this a new concept to you? Cool!
offers you red pill
Here’s a good starter article: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/07/op...
hesitantly takes the pill ... :)
... interesting article, appreciated - though it speaks more of how CIA and the like operate to have themselves be portrayed favourably ...
... that's more good PR than psy-ops!
You're not up on your conspiracy theories I see: https://thegreatwork208716197.wordpress.com/2020/03/09/%E2%9...
I always appreciate a pointer ... :)
(The link is actually interesting, in a convoluted way ...)
You gotta do your reading just so you can stay involved in conversations. You know, at parties. Remember those?
I'm sure there are other more covert disinformation campaigns, but we can't ignore the elephant in the room.
