Do South Korean soap drama like Winter Sonata cater to the white or they control parts of the world? No, but they created such a massive wave across Asia in 2000s through Winter Sonata, Goong, etc that the term Hallyu emerge. And that's when South Korean had gdp per capita even lower than China now. China currently do not have its own Chinese wave. You just need to create a piece of media that is high quality and easy to to reasonate. You talk about conquer the world, demolish the western media but do Chinese media now even dominate in Asia? Baby steps first. And it's not like China do not have high quality media that is not Xianxia, which requires people to have an understanding of lord. They just don't bother advertise it outside.
Winter Sonata is old and irrelevant.

But does it started the Chinese wave like Winter Sonata did with Hallyu? Why Chinese entertainment industry failed to capitalize on this so we get more the most Google shows? Why Chinese media disappear from the most Google shows list since 2019 but Korean has their in top 10 every year since 2021 and they had Parasites in 2020? I said about a consistent trend, not a one-off event that failed to take off. Even the Chinese government now already restricted the making of these Royal Palace stories.

Look at LOTR. Cast of only white people. US started out catering it's film industry only to the white, American controlled parts of the world. Outside peoples were eventually forced to adapt.
No that is how the book rolls. The dark skinned people in Middle Earth are aligned with Sauron.
It is much better to portray the book as it is, instead of making diversity choices, like Black Cleopatras and shit like that.

That was 2018.

Then 2019 was Wandering Earth.

Then 2020 was Genshin Impact.

In 2019, the most searched movies in google is:

1) Avengers: Endgame
2) Joker
3) Captain Marvel
4) Toy Story 4
5) Aquaman
6) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
7) Frozen 2
8) Green Book
9) The Lion King
10) Aladdin

Wandering Earth is not in top 10 and certainly not done well outside China except Netflix. It made only 6 millions outside China.

Genshin impact is certainly popular. But it is two otaku-oriented. Many people still mistake it is Japanese. Not blame them because it even has Japanese name (Genshin istead of Yuanshen).

You do though?

Not Rings of Power. Every race elves, men, dwarves, and hobbits have black, Asian, brown, and white actors.

Try telling people in the Genshin subreddit that it is Japanese.

But if Genshin isn't enough, Arknights came out too and was voted Google User Game of the Year.

In 2019 I don't see any Korean movies up there, do you?

Technically Parasites is 2019 but only get globally famous in 2020 after all the awards including Oscar. Then South Korea has top 10 googled television shows in consecutive 3 years 2021, 2022, 2023. I don't see any Chinese shows in that list either, since 2019. Do you? And that's just South Korea, a tiny country not even in top 10 economy in the world. For a top2 economy, China need to do better.

White approval is apparently the most important according to you. By mentioning Oscar you only proved that you believe this.

Vietnam is very popular among white men, unlike big bad China. How's the revenue of Vietnamese game, movie industry? How about Saigon metro built by high quality QC approved samurai spirit Japanese?

Parasite made less money than just a few months of Genshin.
