I agree, and i didn't go with some parts of the video's narrative, but i still think it's worth looking at chinese propaganda films, like i said - seeing them use the same techniques as us, but without all the automatic cultural assumptions that make it powerful in its target culture helps me see how ridiculous films targeted at us seem elsewhere. It's not impugning china, the film's there to see. To disclaim again, obviously this doesn;t mean i'm saying there's equivalence between our previous 300 years of dominance and what china's done in the last few decades. But just because america and the west is worse doesn;t mean i should be uncritical of the chinese state from the left - it's a big boy now, it can handle it.
