Ever since the reforms began in China, the country's international prowess has been growing. After the Beijing Olympics, more foreigners recognize the excellence of traditional culture of China, while the modern buildings raise the influence of China even higher. After the financial tsunami, the exceptional economic performance of China impressed foreigners. Suddenly, China has turned from a "demonized country" into a "responsible grand nation."
Projection, pure projection. Hollywood doesn't know a thing about the PRC. Education is an antidote to this ignorance, but they like having a fantasy world, it's what they do after all.
