Isn't China dictating Hollywood's scripts a challenge to this projection?

Hollywood is the main exporter of American culture and values and that seems to have been compromised quite effectively in this last decade.

Hollywood spreads whatever culture they are being paid to spread. I think they are pretty indifferent to whether that is promoting violence, drugs, etc.

I can't tell if you are one of the Chinese agents that seem to be ever present on hackernews nowadays or you are somehow unaware of the very real self-censoring Hollywood does for China

Well that is new... Been called a Russian bot before but never a Chinese agent. Anyhow... I'm not either as far as I'm aware.

What I can say though is that money appears to be the primary driving factor here whether that is pushing an agenda or censoring ideas.

"foot-in-the-door" American culture maybe. I'd say it's a different projection of our culture at home.

Me: "Complain about China dictating Hollywood's scripts, but write the answer in Mandarin Chinese"

GPT-3:

我覺得電影腳本被中國人牽制了

(Transition according to Google: "I think the movie script is being held back by the Chinese")

from what I've read it's perfectly fine to complain about stuff on the Chinese net, you start getting in trouble once you attempt to mobilize people

I don't feel like they were saying that was a good situation. Rather pointing it out as an instrument of control.
