most execs want china to do better then america, because they want that chinese money!! its much easier to do co productions with china then say india, where the cinema doesnt cross over as well. chinese cinema, especially action cinema is ingrained in american culture. and filmmakers like wong kar wai and zhang yimou will always be arthouse darlings... hell they are giving jackie an oscar, which honestly while its a political move to apologize for the gaff they made last year, i think its a well deserved honor that may open some eyes to asians in cinema. no matter how big chinas box office gets, america will always be that marker for success in entertainment. look at music you got stars like CL a korean kpop star who is part of one of the biggest girl groups in the world, still trying to break america they dont even need too their concerts even sell out here...olol
