内容提要：
The US trade war against China in 2018-2019 can either enhance or diminish the American soft power in China, depending on whether it is recognized as legitimate by Chinese citizens. We study how the viewership of US movies – an important element of the US soft power – is affected by the trade war, utilizing variations across Chinese cities in the exposure to the Trump tariffs. We find a significant reduction in US movie revenue in regions more exposed to the Trump tariffs, but no corresponding reduction in the consumption of non-US movies. This is corroborated by a decline in online search for US movies, US tourist destinations, and US branded sported shoes. The aversion to US movies appears to persist at least to 2021. The effect is somewhat milder for more affluent people.
