  4.  @connaeris8230  Yes, you're right. Japan and South Korea are successful with their soft power (entertainment) to the world, while Chinese entertainment industry are only focusing within the nation itself. Why? Because China doesn't really care about it. Both Japan & S. Korea are small countries with less population. Thus, they need more market and have to seek more profit from other countries. While China with the most populated and mid-high socioeconomic class is raising in recent years, Chinese entertainment industries are already profitable in home. But don't take it wrong... In 2018, a Chinese drama titled 'Story of Yanxi Palace' became the most searched TV show in Google globally, despite Google being largely blocked there. Banned doesn't mean Chinese netizen can't open Google at all, they can do it with VPN anyway. And Chinese people also not mean the Mainland itself, Chinese people are eventually everywhere in the world (immigrants or descendants). That's why Chinese entertainment doesn't really care about spreading soft power to the world, because they already become the king in their own country, and it does make profit. While some Japanese & S. Korean still struggling with life cause they can't meet ends, let alone paying more for entertainment. That's the very reason there are a lot of KPop girl/boybands trying to reach Japanese market by releasing their albums/singles there, and vice versa. And tell me... can you find official KDrama or Japanese Dorama in Youtube in full episodes? Why? Because they still need the profit through brodcast copyright/license bought from other countries. While you can literally find thousands of Chinese dramas here in Youtube easily. They are in full episodes and released by the official TV stations channel. Why? Because they don't care about profit anymore. One more, thanks to western media who always smearing negative image toward China by twisting the f a cts. That's why most people in the world are still misunderstand about China.
