> What do you mean by "global pop culture" here?
Encountering a Chinese song playing a cafe in Latin America. A popular movie with global appeal. Or even people being aware of cultural trends. I feel like culturally, China is a bit of a black box.
Latin America is so insular, they don't even really play US songs in cafes. (Of course this varies between countries, Chile has more foreign culture, Peru has less.)
That was just an example off the top of my head. In general I never come across Chinese culture outside of China.
For what it's worth, I've just heard a Chinese song in a random Instagram reel from Pakistan.
