CGTN editorial: US movie tariffs will make the country an isolated cultural island
In my latest editorial for CGTN, I make the case that the US movie industry is the undisputed global leader. Because of that, President Trump is making a mistake threatening tariffs on foreign films.
Here’s an excerpt:
The facts do not lie: The U.S. film industry is not in danger of being over-taken by another country. There is no chance the magic of Hollywood and other locations that are popular as movie sites will die. Imposing tariffs or other barriers on foreign films will not benefit the U.S. movie industry; instead, such choices risk turning the country into an isolated cultural (not to mention economic when other tariffs are considered) island.
