China has officially announced a partial ban on Hollywood films, escalating cultural tensions following new 145% tariff on Chinese imports imposed on the Middle Kingdom by President Donald Trump. The move marks a sharp shift in how Beijing manages U.S. entertainment content—openly linking film import reductions to the White House’s trade strategy.

And Trump? He’s not losing sleep over it.

Why wouldn’t Trump laugh? This is a pathetic effort on China’s part. Especially when you look at the real earnings Hollywoke gains from releasing in the country. Last year, Hollywoke earned $107 million total, not per movie, from releases in China. That’s each studio’s earnings added together. It’s pathetic and not even worth the effort to localize or pander to their demands for that paltry sum.

I mean, cutting out Hollywood’s CCP money is an absolute win. Most people in there already hate Trump, so of course he’s happy.

China is an echo chamber. The CCP has been too successful in pushing their propaganda and now even they believe it. Their economy has been on shaky ground for decades and nearly collapsed in 2019 when Kingold Jewelry out of Wuhan (yes, that Wuhan) sold their government gold-plated copper bars claiming they were solid gold. The yuan is gold-backed so when the forgeries were found out it almost destroyed their currency. Then COVID “escaped” and the world forgot about Kingold Jewelry.
