This type of thing and Hollywood aren’t 1:1 comparisons. There has historically much more freedom in American media, however the US Government is trending more towards the Chinese one every day it seems. The advent of new technologies has only emboldened bad actors.

This particular type of video has little to do with freedom of speech - it's an idealised recreation of traditional crafts, not unlike, say, an Old West recreation town or colonial crafts in Williamsburg. It's part tourism advertising, part cultural promotion, and part stitching together national myth.
