From those very first few moments of Netflix’s *3-Body Problem* series is a wild ride, at times almost hallucinogenic. But there is a wider, more urgent issue the series shines a light on: The China that President Xi Jinping displays to the world is not the only China that exists. It is a complex, multi-layered place — much like the show itself — that often confounds expectations. 

The Chinese Communist Party has tried to own the definition of what it means to be Chinese, and has been exporting it around the globe. This series showcases a different, stranger world, created by a Chinese author — and audiences around the globe are responding to it.

The author himself is [loathe](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/liu-cixins-war-of-the-worlds) to have his work seen through a geopolitical lens. But in a China where Xi and his thoughts have increasingly greater control over everything — from how to fight wars, to running businesses, to what happens in your bedroom — a wild and strange world, created from the imagination of a unique storyteller with an alternative viewpoint, can only be a good thing.
