Hollywood is facing fresh uncertainty as China signals plans to scale back American film imports in response to escalating U.S. tariffs, Chinese journalist He Beiping has revealed.
According to reports, Beiping noted that the shift comes as China expands its global film partnerships, recently signing a cooperation deal with Spain.
The move, backed by China’s National Film Administration, has rattled U.S. studios like Disney and Warner Bros Discovery, whose shares have already dipped amid fears of reduced market access.
While China remains a key global box office, Beiping warns that Washington’s trade policies may be undermining its own success in film and tech services—sectors heavily reliant on foreign markets.
He added that China’s new multilateral approach, prioritizing mutual benefit, marks the end of U.S. dominance in global content distribution.
