China and Holywood's Love Story and Possible Separation

China and holywood's love story isn't about a clash between two different ideologies, but clashes within the west. By exasperating these tensions, china's communist party is shining a light on some of the fault lines and cracks in liberal democracy and capitalism. Perhaps one day, those years when china and hollywood came together to try to make movies with the broadest possible appeal will look like a hopeful, even if naive and problematic moment in us. But i hope not. I hope that holywood and china will find better ways to collaborate and make movies together, but in ways that strengthen democracy, rather than bend to authoritarianism.
