Chinese Armed Forces Coproductions and Confusion in 'The World Between Us'

The speaker discusses the concept of coproduction involving the Chinese Armed Forces and the confusion surrounding it. They mention the involvement of the Chinese Armed Forces Air Force and their cultural troops in arts and production. The speaker expresses skepticism about the success and return on investment of such coproductions, citing them as largely unpopular and potentially serving as bland propaganda. They also contrast this with the Taiwanese show 'The World Between Us,' describing it as a police procedural with a focus on journalism, revolving around a school shooting and the characters' connections to it. The speaker finds the show to be unsettling, well-made, but confusing, especially in the portrayal of the lawyer's efforts to prevent the execution of the shooter. Overall, the speaker perceives 'The World Between Us' as a complex and ambitious creation that may be challenging to fully comprehend.
