Or perhaps you haven't encountered Chinese content because of soft suppression of the content from within the US bubble

Do you have any concrete examples of Chinese culture elements as popular as anime that is "supressed" in the US?

TikTok wasn't being supressed and Communist doesn't originate from China.

And TikTok doesn't create content, it distributes it.

And TikTok is banned in China.

I don't buy this narrative, even as a Chinese American.

There are a ton of viral videos on YouTube about people travelling the most beautiful parts of China. Free for everyone to consume.

Chinese movies/shows just kind of suck, especially compared to the quality of Kdramas and anime.

Suppression can only go so far against really impressive works. Consider how even the Iron Curtain had trouble keeping them out, and today's USA has no such walls, but instead, an impressive cultural industry of its own. (Or was that your point ?)
