The fact that in China (such a huge market population-wise) they are reading a lot of the same comics we are (Korhonen's journals, for example) and we know nearly nothing about what they think about it, consumes me. There is an unknown, but probably sizeable, chunk of readers who could be contributing in unchartable ways and we know so little about them.

I’m from Hong Kong where it have its own weird Disney comic publishing going on, but there was a time in the late 2000s to the early 2010 when my family would go to the shenzhen book city in China which is semi close to hk for cheap books and CD, and I would buy the pocket books above and the magazine below. There’s a lot Disney books and comic on the kids shelves back in that period ( like I remember seeing don rosa and Floyd gottfredson collections as well as the egmount stories published in a larger form of graphic novels), but they have started to disappear from shelves by mid 2010s and last time I went there in early 2019 I can barely find either the pocket book or the magazine.
