I don't like wealthy entrepreneurs either but I would be cautious about letting kids watch Chinese cartoons especially. China is undoubtedly trying to get a solid spot in the global animation industry and it's definitely the CCP behind this push. I think they are after the influence opportunities. Of course, US producers have long dominated the industry and churned out way too many rags-to-riches stories but you should not cheer if it's another extremist group that's challenging the status quo.

Good on them. I'd love for there to be more Chinese animation.

I’d also love a more diverse industry but not with 2-3 major players steamrolling everyone else. I am sure there are talented filmmakers from Hungary, Kenya, Paraguay or wherever whose thought-provoking, innovative, well-executed movies never receive as much attention as another South Park season or Marvel movie.

Oh look, a lost lib. Around these parts the Chinese Communist Party is generally viewed favorably. Them churning out lessons for kids to identify and resent capitalists is cool and good actually.
