American films have not experienced an absolute decline in China. It's just their relative share have declined as Chinese films have improved from bad to passable.

King Kong vs Godzilla is projected to do $166 million[1].

I don't think this is surprising. You can't expect to constantly lambast an entire nation of people and still expect them to treat you favourably. That's not how humans work.

you are right, can’t feel positive about a nation that’s brutalizing millions of Ugyhurs and terrorizes other Asian countries

I'd be willing to bet most of the worlds youth are less enthused about American culture after the last 4 years. Would be interesting to compare sentiments between other countries. The box office thing just seems to be that domestic filmmakers are producing better stuff.

Agree - while the rise of woke and cancel culture in America have affected people's perception of American culture in the last few years (e.g https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threa... https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-02-18/u-k-an...), I think the lack of quality entertainment from Hollywood over the last few years (reboots, superhero movies etc) are a much bigger reason for the rise of local movie industries.

This isn’t a thing.

Cancel culture and woke culture is though and it’s embraced wholeheartedly by the radical left.

Even left leaning Europe thinks it was too extreme that Twitter cancelled Donnie

Y'all. The word "polarization" captures both, and explains why you each think only one is the only problem. There's a cycle of causality here.
