  People who can converse in English are a minority in China and that minority isn't particularly proficient at it either. Honestly in terms of influence, it would be better for them if they can get the world to learn mandarin.

  If there was a financial incentive for the translation and distribution of Chinese culture that might naturally happen but American media is what sells in the west. Just look at what Europe makes, there's nothing Scottish about GTA and Cyberpunk 2077 with all its faults far outsold Witcher. With what Ubisoft mostly puts out they might as well be an American company. It seems as though IP that's distinctively European only gets popular when an American company like WB pushes them.

  The Chinese domestic market is also large enough that it makes more sense for Chinese corporations to concentrate on it. Still they did try though at least in Asia with iQIYI, Viu and Tencent buying and merging iflix with wetv but it's difficult to compete with Netflix. I guess Bilibili and Bilibili Comics seems to be succeeding as Crunchyroll in Asia isn't very competitive but the sheer mass production of Japanese anime means that Chinese anime is still the minority on that platform.
