ABC News Online: China's new breed of patriotic hero on the big screen reflects rise of a superpower
Moviegoers in China, like the rest of the world, have long been accustomed to seeing jingoistic action stars fighting baddies on behalf of America.
But the heroes of the silver screen in the world's second-largest market are increasingly flying the Chinese flag, as the country's newly assertive foreign policy plays out in film.
This month a new action film, Operation Red Sea, hits cinemas as part of the bumper lunar new year movie season.

You can also tell in the opening of the 2016 star trek (co- financed by Chinese)...in the scene where the crew relations on board are shown: the Chinese guy gets the chick,and the white guy is shunned by an alien chick..subtle but steadily infiltrating. We should do the same to their movie industry. Oh I foregot. We cannot. Only our politicians are stupid enough to let Chinese companies meddle in our media business. Do that in China and you get prison camp. 1.5bn people live under different rules than we do. Compete under different rules. We must stop it.
The worst thing are the Chinese living abroad. They get the best of two worlds. They have our freedoms and can access their market (which we cannot the same way) to do business among us. We cannot compete with that. You see chinese rising among us in our countries. Not because they are smart. Not because they work hard. But because they have access to the biggest market in the world and we do not - not to the same level at least. You cannot compete like this... never ever. Either we stop it or all our bosses will be Chinese. Because they don't play by the rules the rest of the World plays by and we keep on letting them cheat and in effect steal from us. It's not fair.
