For a good tv program check out When a Snail Falls in Love on Netflix
It is pure chinese cop show and soap opera all in one. It features a major crimes unit in a fictional chinese city. the bad guys are running drugs into china from Myanmar. Myanmar and chinese vistas are very well done. One of the cops always wears an American themed t shirt.
It does not seem to be blatant propaganda. It draws a wide Asian audience. The blurb mentions the web site got 2 billion hits...... 2 billion.
I’m actually watching that series for the second time right now.
