Chinese Soft Power and Media Discussion and Updates

2. TikTok Global is merged with Douyin, i.e. there is one TikTok for World ex US;

No, that won’t happen. Dogging is only for Chinese market. So it’s a domestic TikTok walled off in China only. Plus Chinese regulators ad censorship will never work with TikTok global. In fact it would lead to the collapse of TikTok since most global users are not used to the level of censorship in China so many will move away from the app. So it’s better to keep Douyin’s China’s TikTok walled off in China only and let TikTok global function independently more freely abroad . In short, keep the status quo the way it is, no need to change the current setup .
The only way your method will work is if the Chinese government reviews/reforms her internet and censorship rules which we all know is almost impossible in our life time. So it’s better for TikTok to keep the current status quo.

Yet Xiaohongshu is fully compliant with Chinese requirements but is open for cross registration.

The censorship doesn't matter if the content is good enough and by how often Douyin memes get moved to TikTok but never the reverse, we all know which side has better content.

The west witness their economic, industrial and military pre-eminance dissolve before their eyes. They'll only dig deeper into religious(not even idelogical) zealotry to soothe their disporportionate ego during the long descent into their rightful place of being second rated states, they have nothing else justify their sense of self in the world.

I say let them, this series of event is as predictable as it is pathethic.

The screenwriter of this drama also penned the South Korean film Decision to Leave, which starred Chinese actress Tang Wei.

However, as of the time of press, there has been no extensive coverage of this incident in South Korea's major media outlets, and the level of attention it has garnered on South Korean social media platforms remains relatively low.

Xiang Haoyu, a research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, told the Global Times on Saturday that the lines and scenes smearing China in Tempest reflect certain South Korean creators' prejudices, misunderstandings toward China, and a narrow-minded nationalist sentiment. Some in South Korea still cling to outdated, rigid and biased stereotypes about China, and even distort China's image to satisfy some kind of self-gratification. This may be an attempt to cater to certain conservative right-wing and anti-China forces, Xiang noted.

Just as When Life Gives You Tangerines promoted non-governmental exchanges between the two countries, Xiang noted that entertainment products directly impact the mutual affection between the peoples of the two nations. Works with malicious smearing content like the Tempest hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, will only damage South Korea's image among the Chinese public, and further undermine the friendly relations between the two peoples.

South Korea has been a very successful country to be honest, despite some of their shortfalls and mistakes. They punch far above their weight in almost every sector compared to their size(basically a large Chinese city/province ). I will say China still punches way below her weight given her size, resources and population. I am not sure why Chinese musics/movies/entertainment industry hasn’t been as successful as South Korea. At least for North Korea I can understand since the people basically live a giant prison, but China has been open for decades now, I would have expected their movies/music industry etc to be much more successful outside China than it is today. The only Chinese place that did have a global success around the world was Hong Kong during the 70s to 90s with her Kung fu movies but not sure I can attribute that to China since they were not even part of China back then but under Britain.
it will be interesting to see if China can achieve the level of success Hong Kong and South Korea achieved in the future in this sector. Maybe there is still something lacking somewhere . I would have expected Chinese culture, movies / music /entertainment industry to be the one dominating and setting the lead in east Asia and SEA at least to be honest. Giving the country’s size, rich history/culture etc

South Korea does not have the global hegemon pissing on their culture at every turn.

So it will take a bit longer:
