  • The New York Times：Dalian Wanda of China Offers a Carrot to Hollywood
    The New York Times reports: "Wang Jianlin, chairman of the Dalian Wanda Group...sat in an opulent armchair at the Peninsula Hotel here on Sunday and discussed his business ventures with a casual efficiency. His response to criticism from a member of Congress that Wanda, after a spectacular $8 billion shopping spree in Hollywood, is a propaganda threat and should be subject to more Justice Department scrutiny? It is 'not like we are invading,' Mr. Wang said, contending that Wanda's goal involves 'helping' American film companies 'to get more market share in the emerging movies market that is China.' (And, of course, making money for Wanda along the way.)...But what about concerns that Wanda is moving aggressively in Hollywood as part of a move by the Communist Party to control the portrayal of China on screen? Mr. Wang, who noted that Wanda was focused on entertainment 'profit' 14 times during a 40-minute interview, said storytelling decisions by American studios in relation to China, with or without Wanda ownership, were about maximizing returns at the fast-growing Chinese box office."
