A Cultural Desert? Conquering the World with Kung Fu Films

A cultural wasteland?

One Shaolin Temple, and it's a sensation across the country. Countless young people shave their heads just to go learn kung fu at Shaolin Temple!

One Fist of Legend, and the Japanese are beaten up, while Japanese stars clamor for roles so they can get thrashed, becoming national idols on the island!

One Simple Task, and Ukraine lends out a nuclear submarine and missile base, while the Bear Nation opens Red Square to foreign film crews for the first time!

One Chinese Zodiac, and foreign fans crowdfund the purchase of the zodiac bronze heads, returning these priceless artifacts, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, to the National Museum of China for free!

But after watching all the kung fu films, wuxia films, and absurd comedies, why not check out Wolf Warrior, Operation Red Sea, The Wandering Earth, and The Battle at Lake Changjin?

By then, after a barrage of one high-quality film after another, foreigners have already decided that anything made in China is guaranteed to be top quality.

Hollywood blockbusters?

If there's even one Chinese film playing in theaters, who's going to watch Hollywood?
