What's the big deal anyway? Must China patronize Hollywood movies that are popular in their home turf to avoid being labeled as uncouth and or racist? I don't see the same treatment for any movies that comes out of China getting the same treatment. In fact, it's the polar opposite. These stupid western countries want to spit, punch, heckle, call China names while at the same time expect China to be amenable to their demands, kowtow to their racist opinions, accept their cultural beliefs and adopt hedonistic lifestyle. Holy moly, what a fascistic thinking group of people.
It's just the same White/American/Eurocentric lens that the news is projected through.
In the West, the success of the Little Mermaid has an element of payback. It goes to show that the history can be transcended.
Well, China didn't enslave black people for the colour of their skin, nor did they create colonies and subjugate the people on their lands, so Chinese people don't carry this baggage.
