A bellwether. I wonder if China will want to export their culture like Hollywood, or if they will be content to keep to themselves.

It's mostly a business decision and I'm guessing they will try to push into new markets if they think they can get some traction. This may convince them that they can. I know that Akira convinced anime studios that there was a market outside Japan.
They don't seem to have any issue selling their movies, animated series, comics and novels in other countries. In fact, they are being quite successful exporting their video-games recently. They are way more successful in their local market than abroad, but that's true for almost any cultural product.
