The Geopolitics of Kung Fu Films

The geopolitics of Kung Fu films

Through these new kung fu movies, China emerges as dynamic, fast-paced and disciplined, as well as Confucian in its devotion to a strict moral order. The movies also suggest a China that is not subservient to the West but somehow superior, capable of being a strong nation, a multi-ethnic empire, and an internationally dominant player.

A bit heavy-handed and not entirely accurate, but interesting.
