Well I did say later that even Japan and Korea haven't exactly cracked that nut of global entertainment either. Squid Game and Parasite are more succesful than any Mainland Chinese production has ever been, but still turned out to be one hit wonders that hardly heralded Korea's ability to go toe to toe with Hollywood and HBO. Meanwhile about the only entertainment area where Japan is hegemonic is video games. Their movies have been dead ever since Akira Kurosawa kicked the bucket, let's not even speak of their live action dramas, and anime still remains a niche carrying the stigma of being for nerds only.
