Look at the top grossing movies over the last half decade in China. The only American films that typically top the charts in China are movies reminiscent of the ones Hollywood made in the 80s and 90s.
It kind of flies in the face that people want "feminist action fanfare". They don't sell in America, they don't sell in China (even when made by the Chinese) and the sure as heck don't sell in India.

So they're deliberately putting out propaganda not to make money, but to brainwash people. They're losing money, revenue, and viewership in the process, but the whole point is that the next generation will be born into agitprop and that's all they'll know (unless their parents purposely keep them from consuming it).
People who are force-fed the globohomo agenda won't know any better, unless they regularly watch foreign films from China, India or Russia.
They're willing to lose in the short term for the long-term effect of brainwashing every generation that follows this one.
It's not even to appease China.

In 2018 hilariously enough more masculine action films topped the charts in China. What were the worst performing films? Two of the five biggest bombs were female-led action films: https://www.inkstonenews.com/arts/chinese-box-offices-top-10-films-and-5-biggest-flops/article/2180370

Hollywood has been on a steady decline while the rest of the movie industry has been on an incline, with the exception of 2018 due in large part to Marvel, but in 2017 and 2019 sales/revenue/attendance were down: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/2017-box-office-global-revenue-hits-record-40b-as-movie-attendance-plummets-us-1070879/
