What do you mean by "global pop culture" here?

I've never considered there to be one, although I'm open to the idea.

It's easy for me to recognize an Ameican pop culture or an Anglo pop culture, and the favor each show for certain imports over others, but those don't seem nearly so universal as your usage of "global pop culture" suggests.

Latin, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, French, Indian/South Asian, etc each represent huge "pop culture" markets of their own but also each have their own import biases.

Encountering a Chinese song playing a cafe in Latin America. A popular movie with global appeal. Or even people being aware of cultural trends. I feel like culturally, China is a bit of a black box.

Latin America is so insular, they don't even really play US songs in cafes. (Of course this varies between countries, Chile has more foreign culture, Peru has less.)

That was just an example off the top of my head. In general I never come across Chinese culture outside of China.

		For what it's worth, I've just heard a Chinese song in a random Instagram reel from Pakistan.
