I saw a lot of foreigners have already paid the Nezha tax on XHS and really loved the film series. I think the Tiktok refugee movement has a larger impact than expected.

First Mao/cat, next Chinese food, then Nezha, who knows what Chinese netizens will teach tiktok refugees next ;)

If they claim that China has only now surpassed the UK, then in reality, it likely means China has already surpassed the US.
Nah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Even with a crazy government, the US is still in a league of its own with the amount of tech and entertainment talent/capital it has at its disposal, not to mention the dollar still being the world's reserve currency. China has always accomplished the impossible by taking things a step at a time, regardless of what others have said, and it should continue to do so.

No, this is 100% realistic. When a Western agency like this one publishes a report on anything related to China, they are likely X years behind as an established rule of thumb. This is due to the heavy involvement of intelligence agencies' propaganda in reporting and inner hubris and delusions in their society. Claiming China overtook Britistan only now smells very fishy to me. If they had to admit that then it's 100% likely they also already surpassed the US (number 1) in this area. Also, when you factor in genocide in Gaza and the recent Trump rugpull of the empire.

Which is however still less than what China has. So maybe a league on its own above EU/Russia but below China?

Let's unpackage what the dollar being the world reserve currency means. All it means is that US is the lord with the gold mining rights and the coin mint right. Which is powerful but has historically never made you the most powerful person per automatic. The Qing had reserve currency right over the British.

The most powerful person is always the one that can muster the most soldiers and manufacture the most equipment. And that is... Probably not the US. If it is, they sure haven't acted like they're in a stronger position.

It goes without saying China will continue to have the geopolitical mastery it has had for the last few decades, even an overall upper hand doesn't mean you can charge the enemy like a clumsy idiot.
