Super Smash Bros. creator says instead of making more "Americanized works," Japanese devs should "seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games" (www.gamesradar.com)

Really? I thought the big games have been coming out of China, lately, like genshin impact.

Other than a couple notable exceptions like Genshin, most Chinese games tend to stay in China. Could always change, but the Chinese market has always been very insular.

It was the first video game bubble pop in the 80's that tanked the Western gaming industry and paved the way for Japanese consoles and publishers to make waves internationally, though, so who's to say that the same couldn't happen this time for China? But Japan's industry is still healthy, so who knows.
