Just like the sun rises in the east at the dawn of a new day, China, too, is rising at the dawn of a new age. Even the most casual observer is starting to notice China's economic growth. They were the only major country to experience economic growth during Covud lockdowns:
BEIJING—China’s economy expanded by 2.3% in 2020, roaring back from a historic contraction in the early months of the year to become the only major world economy to grow in what was a pandemic-ravaged year.
Their soft power became apparent when the NBA bent the knee to China's demands. The NBA didn't want to lose access to the largest middle class. Now, Hollywood is going through something similar:
As Fenton and others have shown, Hollywood is generally terrified of offending Beijing, for a few key reasons. First the market is increasingly lucrative, meaning there is a lot to be gained by getting your films into China. At the same time, however, the CCP is deeply sensitive, so it’s very easy for studios and actors to get on their bad side, which can result in total blacklisting and the consequential loss of profits. It’s also very easy to violate the CCP’s content standards, which can cut a film off from a huge chunk of profits at the Chinese box office.
What is often overlooked, is that China has been here longer than a couple of years. This started decades ago. Free trade propaganda presents the illusion that to make cheaper goods we have to ship production overseas, so China capitalized on American's greed. But, with the economic collapse coming to America the wealthy are trying to jump ship. This group is made of people that wear very small hats and claim to be chosen by God.
China knows their tricks and wants nothing to do with them. So, say bye-bye to the small hats and hello Chinamen.
