What does a hit film about the Iraq war say about Chinese views of the world?

A new film, Once Upon a Time in the Middle East, tells the story of the Iraq war from a Chinese perspective. This movie marks another attempt by China to promote its soft power and share its views on the world with a global audience. The film's portrayal of the Iraq war and its impact on a Chinese character's life could provide insight into how the Chinese government sees the world and its place in it, which may have implications for international relations and global trade.

Why it matters

A film about the Iraq war does not have a direct impact on markets. It may reflect Chinese views of the world, but it does not affect market sentiment.
