Bear with me, on this boba liberal's video.

She talks a bit about restriction, censorship, and standardization of exported media by the ebil CCP /s, but rather focuses it on its consequent dullness, on-the-nose approach and cheapening of its media products...

How would you respond to this, point by point? (Sorry if I may sound like I argue in bad-faith)

Additional thanks if you don't rely too much on whataboutism (yes, we can apply the artificial-politics-imposed media label, associated with CPC, on U.S media, like G.I Joe and Rambo, some of them even funded by the Department of Defense)

There are a lot of good shows in China, easily equal to any South Korean or American tv show. I don't think their animation industry is quite as developed as Japans, but they still produce plenty of animation (and arguably, much better stuff than 90% of anime, seriously, anime can be amongst the worst things created by humans sometimes.)

The problem is that Chinese media rarely gets exported to the west in the same way media from western allies do. It isn't a lack of capacity or ability on China's part, it is a lack of willingness on the part of westerners to consume media from "the enemy."

I think it being better than anime is a pretty low bar. But I’d mainly point to how China has developed music in many different genres and has a huge variety of bands that are very well acclaimed

I'm sure they have quite an impressive music scene, I just don't know anything about it personally. Did you have any recommendations?

Not the same person replying, I have a few:

  • Beyond (the songs 冷兩夜, and 光輝歲月, I've heard them referred to as the chinese beatles)
  • Cui Jian (Say Say Say, 不是我不明白, and 新长征路上的据滚)

For something more recent and pop-y

  • 要不要买菜 (好男人都死哪儿去了 and 常乐)
  • Listening to Yinque's Poems (芒种, 见山是山, and 红昭愿)

Hope you like some of them!

I've js discovered him from u and the dude seems to be rocking a redstar hat alot but is it js posing? bc his Wikipedia says he got banned from performing for a while after the Tiananmen riots bc of his support for the rioters n the rioters co opting his music and what not. Did the dude go through some character development or is js a liberal larping

[–] urshanabi@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Oh what, I have no clue... I was in a Chinese restaurant and shazam'd his music. This is strange...

Thanks! I'll check those out. Not normally a big fan of pop stuff, but it's usually still nice to listen to. (there's a reason it is popular after all.)
