Jack Ma
From my experience, I would say no: actors of East Asian descent don’t get the opportunities white actors do. I know that’s inherently a problem in a country that produces a lot of period drama, but I have to fight so hard to get parts that don’t have something to do with China.
Gemma Chan
For decades, conventional wisdom in the United States held that it was only a matter of time before China would become more liberal, first economically and then politically.
