@hypolite @nyrath @swope Yeah, Chinese cultural influence has been hampered by censorship restrictions.

In the meantime, everyone (including in asia) goes ga ga over Japanese anime/manga. Which is pretty funny and weird if you're at all aware how COMPLETELY it was all focused entirely upon domestic consumption.

Japan is "winning" at cultural hegemony without even trying. It must drive the older folks who remember the bad old WWII days absolutely bonkers.
