Think of it this way, go to any movie theater in China and almost half the movies are Hollywood movies.

Or if you go to any high end department store, more than half the models in ads are not Chinese. The models present a luxurious, enviable lifestyle.

Any random Chinese person can name at least 10 Hollywood celebrities and hum 10 American songs.

This type of “influence” is much more powerful than what China is currently capable of. And until Americans are like that, I’m not worried at all about “Chinese influence.”

Now if you are strictly talking about government sponsored astroturfing, then look up Operation Earnest Voice and Project Mockingbird.

I also recommend Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent.

Throwaway account since I don’t dare discuss some topics with my real account

There is plenty of evidence showing China's propogandistic influence on Hollywood movies. References to Tibet, Taiwan, etc. are often removed.
