> You also could never afford to piss America off, which is why every other protagonist in hollywood movies is some Tom Cruise lookalike who combats people who speak English in a broken Russian accent.

This is different tho. You can produce a movie that pisses off people, and still have it play in theatres.

If you make a movie that pisses of the Chinese government, not necessarily the people, then that movie won't even be shown in China.
