I still have to teach my high school sophomores that Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian people are not "all the same". Do we really need a movie that makes the Chinese nation the bad guys? I know there are a lot of movies with Chinese gangsters and the like but the PRC Army invading the U.S.? That's a bit different and, IMHO, not very cool.

With the Soviets, it wasn't an ethnic group taking the fall, it was an ideology.

I think the original Red Dawn made the Cubans look pretty bad, with the exception of the Cuban colonel Bella who came out of it looking like a belated good guy.
