Although Home Coming is said to be the first film about a Chinese foreign evacuation from a diplomat’s perspective, there have been multiple domestic movies over the past decade focusing on Chinese civilians needing to be rescued from chaos erupting abroad.
In Operation Red Sea (红海行动, 2018), which also stars Zhang Yi, a Chinese special task force sets out on a risky mission to evacuate civilians amid civil war in the fictional ‘Republic of Ihwea’ – loosely based on the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Yemen in 2015.
At the end of the Home Coming movie, a text showed up on the screen to remind Chinese viewers to always get in touch with the Foreign Ministry hotline for assistance if they find themselves in an emergency situation while abroad.
Chinese movie star Wu Jing (吴京) also makes a cameo appearance in this film. Wu is most famous for his role in Wolf Warrior 2, in which he plays a special forces soldier who battles foreign mercenaries and helps Chinese and African citizens during a local war in Africa.

Bump for reference.
Entertaining flick, nonetheless.
These films make me feel the is not much difference between what the movie going public in China and the USA want.
If this film was remade starring Mark Wahlberg leading a group of marines it would be a hit here.
The main problem is Hollywood is so woke it only rarely makes those types of films, even if they would make money.
Of course the commonality in what people of any nations “want” is that it so easily engineered by elites with media control who tailor what people “want” to suit an agenda.
好吧共匪
If it were hyped, like "woke" gets hyped and the majority of people continue to love it.
“helps Chinese and African citizens during a local war in Africa”
China and Africa. Who wins?
很好，谢谢
