Even as an ethnic Chinese I still consume more Japanese/Korean entertainment content on a daily basis. I ask around and it's the same for my friends and colleagues. I mean just take a look at Netflix top 10 in SG, it's dominated by Korean dramas. Even in non-Asian countries they can still be popular, which is quite impressive for non-English dramas.
When I was a kid I consumed Taiwanese Mandopop like Jay Chou/JJ Lin, Taiwanese idol dramas, and Chinese period dramas.
Nowadays the only Chinese-language entertainment content I consume is Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok? But for most people outside of China they use the international version of TikTok instead, which ironically is dominated by American content creators and basically close to zero Chinese content creators. Because of self-imposed isolation to separate the domestic and international version , a Chinese social media platform is now helping to spread American soft power around the world lol.
