The Chinese can't make movies. They are an impersonal race they can't really do drama. All they do in their movies is copy the west and that in a rather pedestrian way.
Of course, if you grow up watching the garbage Hollywood has been making this past couple of decades, you may not realize just how bad Chinese cinema is, but that only means cinema as an art form is basically dead.
BTW, there was some heavy feminist stuff in the IP man films (the two i saw anyway), don't think you are going to escape this if the Chinese ever take over. Their movies won't be much different from what Hollywood is making now, the propaganda will just be more Chinese nationalistic and the writing will be even more formulaic.
