That monkey god game (Wukong something) also just came out this month and it's become one of Steam's most played games ever.

And of course Tencent also owns part of Path of Exile, Epic Games, Discord, Roblox, etc.

China used to own AMC Theaters too, and still owns some Hollywood studios like Legendary (Batman, The Hangover, Pacific Rim, Interstellar, etc.) through the Wanda conglomerate.

While we're talking about pop culture, China is just quietly buying up America piece by piece...

Buying things isnt soft power. The discussion was about soft power. Owning things is not soft power. He is referring to cultural exports. And there are not any.
