“After a Chinese company bought the AMC theater chain last year, you can forget about any movie being made with ChiCom bad guys, or which in any way displeases the Chinese.”

I disagree. I think you will still have plenty of non stereotypical, individual chinese as the bad guys.

You will not see a stereotypical (fu man chu types) as the bad guy and you will not see the Chinese nation as a whole being the bad guy.

However, when I see a hollywood movie, except for Jackie Chan, I have NEVER SEEN A CHINESE BE THE HERO FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS.

So in a way, it kind of evens out.

What really kills me these days are shows like “the big bang theory” where Orientals have been completely eradicated from the physics dept. What is that about ? You don’t even see them strolling down the hallways or in the cafeteria. It is like a chinese specific neutron bomb went off where all the chinese got killed and left everyone else.

"NEVER SEEN A CHINESE BE THE HERO FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS."

Just a question, what nationality was Bruce Lee?

What I meant by "ChiCom bad guys" was any depiction of Communist China as being an enemy of the United States. For example "Red Dawn" with Chinese invaders.
