The crying shame here is that China has so many achievements, it doesn't need to resort to brainwashing propaganda style of movies decades ago. For example, the directors could have portrayed historic events in engaging fashion like the Crown or Chernobyl. I watched "A bite of China" before and loved it. It reflected the culture, the diversity, the way of life and how history shaped their cuisine. This is the direction forward, not this rubbish emotional propaganda they're trying to brainwash people with. China has more than enough to be proud of and how they overcame huge obstacles through reforms - and are today one of the world's largest economies and their population enjoying technological advancement and prosperity. The directors need to go back to the drawing board.
