Huh. Let's look at this from another angle. They've banned anything American or Japanese essentially. Videogames have influenced China so much it was turning the population into another culture. So China banned it.
Usually China spreads by influence and slowly turning enemies into Chinese. Mulan wasn't Chinese, but the area she lived is very Chinese now. So the US doing the reverse is pretty freaking amazing.
