I bet China makes it really easy to sell to a big, unified market since the levels of social repression and form-fitting are much higher compared to other parts of the world. It's easy to sell the party bulletin when nothing else is allowed to circulate :^) Also, the anglosphere consists of many diverse groups of people due to its role as a universal second language. That might make a generalized approach fail with a lot of customers.

You don’t really know anything about China. Unless you are directly criticizing the government it’s just like anywhere else.

You are so correct. The only thing different about China is government oppression and nothing else. You cannot make omelets without cracking a few fake eggs.

And what does “anywhere else” mean here?

Directly criticizing the government is basically the national sport in most western countries.

And whats exactly racist about saying the CCP censors news, that culture informs people’s views of the world, and that since English is a widespread language that English-based services have more varied cultures to traverse?

Which part is genuine racism?

Any statement about China will be unintentionally racist due to China being an ethnostate that largely prevents migration into China.

"In 2016, China issued 1,576 permanent residency cards. This was more than double what it had issued the previous year, but still roughly 750 times lower than the United States’ 1.2 million at the time.[3]"
