That movie went way out of its way to obscure what country they going against. It definitely did not say the antagonists were Chinese.

That movie, like most American military action movies, was done in partnership with the US government, which was given approval on the script. I would ask why Chinese propaganda is painted as oppressive and heavy-handed when we're doing the exact same thing through government programs that are old enough to collect Social Security.

Those programs are also bad.

There is also a difference between approving a script portraying the military, and literally commissioning a movie.

And I think everyone can agree that such a difference exists, even though both are bad.

I didn't call out those movies because the state was involved, it's because they glorified killing and fighting Americans.
