alt Hacker NewsThe rest of the world is the one thing that gives me hope in this regard, really.
It feels like year by year, Asia, even China, is becoming more and more culturally relevant. Western media is just too damn stagnant.
Hollywood used to be known as possibly the most important cultural powerhouse history has seen. It might still be that, but it certainly doesn't feel like it anymore.
Or maybe I'm just getting old.

And powerful export sectors.
Based on what culture exactly? Can you name a single Chinese worldwide hit movie or TV show from the last 12 months?
I can think of only Korean Squid Game and a few Japanese anime shows that are somewhat successful.
Do Chinese movies even get distributed into places like India, Africa, South America as US produced stuff does?
China rising should not comfort anyone except Xi. They are all about raw power.
