中国的代表形象最早出现在美国电影屏幕上是二十世纪二十年代。当时，中国通常被扮作是欺骗性的、深思熟虑的、完全危险的对应人物。在《袁将军的苦茶》电影中，追求名利的一名中国军阀随意下令对他俘虏的犯人执行死刑，并且还向他清秀的美国客人证明这是比让他们在监狱里饿死更人性化的解决方案。如同当时的陈词滥调一样，这名军阀也有好色的品性，他蒙骗美国传教士的歌女，但他仍然是一个有深度的人，他也会温柔地朗诵爱情诗，或向女主角谈论哲学。

对于不了解中国的观众来说，当时正处在动荡状态中的这个国家似乎本质上很险恶。没有人试图去理解为什么会发生战争，也没有提及导致危机的帝国主义角色，而这场危机最终导致了满清王朝的覆灭和随之而来的无政府状态。写电影和历史评论的理查德厄尔林在一篇文章中写道。他还注意到，更糟的是，很多关于这一主题的电影显示或暗示一种异域文明。 <span word="After">After</span> <span

冷战结束十五年后，随着中国经济的增长推动该国成为一个新兴超级大国的角色，叙述模式发生了一个新的转折。中国不再被描绘成神秘的或嗜杀成性的，由斯蒂芬加汉导演的中东惊悚片《辛瑞那》的中国形象是被构建成强大的、老谋深算的对手。向阿拉伯王子寻求天然气钻探权的中国代表团到达时讲着一口流利的阿拉伯语，而相比之下，马特达蒙的美国能源分析师只会用阿拉伯语寒暄几句。作为剧情的元素，这个细节是短暂而次要的，但却是前所未有的。据我所知，旧形象让位给新一代的荧幕中国恶棍：在《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士》和最新的邦德电影《007：大破天幕杀机》中，美国英雄依然对战来自敌人的猛攻，但却是在上海和澳门的壮观的未来主义背景之中。

当《纸牌屋》的情节转向中国时，主题是当代的且可信的：网络间谍，稀土，领土争端，以及一个狡猾的、沉思的、放荡的富豪，后者依靠他在北京高层中的关系网络发挥作用。按照电影史上的低标准来说，对中国的描绘足够真实这部美剧在中国走红了而且它捕捉到了精彩的瞬间，即可能很难知道一个像角色冯赞德这样的男人，一名来自北京的使者，是否为其所声称代表的领导辩护。放弃完全统一的中国政府形象是该剧的创新之一。 <span
