Or perhaps you haven't encountered Chinese content because of soft suppression of the content from within the US bubble

I don't buy this narrative, even as a Chinese American.

There are a ton of viral videos on YouTube about people travelling the most beautiful parts of China. Free for everyone to consume.

Chinese movies/shows just kind of suck, especially compared to the quality of Kdramas and anime.

		Let's be real, the top talent in China flocks to the tech world – internet, manufacturing, the whole shebang. Entertainment? Not so much. That industry's heavily regulated, you know? Look at what they've achieved: drones, electric vehicles, solar power, robotics... You could even say China basically "outsourced" entertainment to the West and East Asia.

Do you have any concrete examples of Chinese culture elements as popular as anime that is "supressed" in the US?

Tiktok and communism are the first things that come to mind

TikTok wasn't being supressed and Communist doesn't originate from China.

		And TikTok doesn't create content, it distributes it. And TikTok is banned in China.

Suppression can only go so far against really impressive works. Consider how even the Iron Curtain had trouble keeping them out, and today's USA has no such walls, but instead, an impressive cultural industry of its own. (Or was that your point ?)
