Yes, definitely. TV. It's impossible to beat the hours of exposure TV provides. Eddie Huang might have disowned Fresh Off the Boat but it still was amazing for public opinion.

This seems to be narrowly around University admissions. I don't think the general public would like this comparison. I also think because of religion and the holocaust it's a different route.

I'm surprised you are grouping ACA-5 with this, I think you are thinking to much around your own environment. I think it's a different topic to what a cold war with China would bring.
