“China’s mixture of authoritarianism and capitalism has proved for other world leaders an alluring alternative to the free and democratic model that Americans for decades have believed in exporting to other nations—a model powerfully reflected in and endorsed by the movies the United States has sent abroad. In considering the fight for the next generation of moviegoers, look beyond auditoriums in the U.S. and China to the parts of the world where it remains unclear which country will take on the role of superpower benefactor.”
