True but really it does say a bit when Japan cannot really shell enough to bring in the big guns for animation as consistently as before but still I don’t see Japanese voice actors being replaced given there niche and appeal but I do see Chinese voice greatly improving to the point where their appeal will broaden to being on a similar level to a Japanese voice actor (I mean from what I saw of recent games, especially honkai impact I see the voice acting quality improve a lot of the past few years since it’s begging). Still this speaks volumes as to how much the Chinese entertainment scene has improved and still have room to greatly improve and expand. This is compared to the stagnation of the Japanese entertainment industry in general that seems to be stagnating as a whole whilst doing little to innovate and really the only selling point these days are their voice actors and past glories attached

Japan as a whole lives on it's past glories.
Even of their largest electronics companies states this, although not outright. But Japan is not to be underestimated. Japan still owns many legacy IP's and controls many legacy industrial processes, which give it a strong advantage. However, Japan is severely lacking in development of new technologies, and thus depends on IP on their legacy processes.
I don't say to abolish private for profit film studio, what i want to say is established state institution to experiment with filmmaking, i mean i'ts kinda like china today when there are private firm and state firm. Also, china doesn't learn or train from soviet when in come to live action film when hundred flower campaign happened. (Before sino soviet split).
A little bit history that people here often overlooked. When hundred flower campaign began, Mao didn't care about live action film (didn't know the reason some say because life action film was very expensive). The chinese government established shanghai animation film studio. The studio then trained under soviet animator with the request from Mao and the soviet agree. The studio then produced award winning animation but people/artist who watched the film think the film was from soviet union. So, beginning in late 50s and early 60s, the studio experiment to make their animation looks more chinese and experimenting animation with different medium (paper, stop motion animation, ink animation). It was huge success that many of their film winning award and at that time, many japanese animator inspired by them. But, the cultural revolution happened, so many of the artist got persecuted and went to the countryside doing manual labor work. After the end of cultural revolution, their artstyle also changed, the artstyle became more and more abstract. But, starting in the 90s, the studio didn't very active again because it's cheaper and bring more money to outsourcing rather than producing. The reason of this is because the government didn't care and put little funding to the studio so the studio doing outsourcing to survive.
The studio is active again and still influencing chinese animator to this day, their recent collection of short film that their release on bilibili (jan. 2023) became hit and some of them winning award. Private for profit animation studio in china take inspiration from them and learn how to produce their animation in different format from shanghai animation film studio. A good example of this is the movie deep sea (深海) where the studio want to try ink animation in the format of 3d in some scene.

LMAO - Japan's Minister of Defense doesn't think Japan will lend a hand to Taiwan until the rest of the world does.
Not surprisingly, America's tech sanctions lead to increased cooperation between China and Russia in many fields, including quantum technology.
David P. Goldman's view about the China-US tech competition:
David P. Goldman: "Viktor Orban is the smartest politician I've ever met. This assessment is frightening":
This is probably the last time Kissinger could mediate China-US relationship. Carl Zha is worried.

Bollywood is small and not all that important. A single Chinese movie makes almost the same money as all of Indian Bollywood combined.
This is to be expected, as unfortunately, few people are interested in the thoughts, hopes and dreams of Indians for their own sake. Look at how the west only talks about India in comparison to China for proof. They don't care about India, they only care about how India can counter China. If it wasn't for China, they wouldn't care about India.
Another Meloni style bait and switch?

Who knew all it took for this forum's opinion to go from China needs to work on its soft power to China is a secret cultural superpower, was for me to well, express an opinion that even has its own thread and that most ardent Chinese patriots can admit to.
Bro from what I heard from the Indians, it was the Russian who suckered them...lol the name INS Vikramaditya comes to mind and the Mig- 29k.
But with the Vikrant, the Indians gained invaluable experience building a CV from scratch -- even if many crucial subsystems and components were imported -- plus the substantial amounts spent on hull construction and other indigenous inputs stayed home and buoyed the Indian economy. With the Vikramaditya, all that money spent on the hull purchase and its conversion and fitting out left India and buoyed the Russian economy, and the Indians gained no building experience at all.
So even assuming the Vikrant cost 50 percent more, I'd say it was worth it. But according to the cost figures I found, the Vikrant cost only 36 percent more (Vikrant $3.2B, Vikramaditya $2.35B), so it was worth it even more.
I used to be one of them, being an atheist and part buddhist help me broaden my horizon.I'm pretty sure that the diaspora is much more Christian than mainland China.
Chinese Americans: 31% Christian.
Taiwan: 4% Christian.
Hong Kong: 16% Christian
Mainland China: 2% Christian
nothing against Christians, but its just a simple fact that there is a lower % of Chinese Christians in mainland than outside of it.
