Chinese media search for TNMC collaboration, especially for transnational regional partnerships with media in: Korea, Hong Kong, India, and other Asian countries; StarTimes, Xinhua, and local partners in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, among others; while CGTN (China Global Television Network) works with 30 Latin American media to produce TV talk shows and other programs. In most cases, Chinese media soft power has encouraged positive assessments by citizens.
Meanwhile, despite the recent animosity of the Chinese government toward international investments, multiple private media, including Internet giants Alibaba and Tencent (partnered with South Africa’s Naspers media), continue to find opportunities for joint ventures. In 2017, Wolf Warriors 2 (filmed in Africa) became the highest grossing non-English film in history. Wolf Warriors is a multi-film franchise by China-based Bona Films and a bundle of partners including Wanda, Japan’s Kadokawa, Singapore’s Shaw, South Africa’s Ster-Kinekor, and others. Notably, dominant themes expressed in the most popular Chinese and Chinese transnational films indicate Chinese government and Chinese capitalist support for transnational relations and its ideological protocols. In short, China has considerable cooperative interdependence with transnational media production and distribution which belie claims of technological imperialism.
