* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''. The Red Chinese are THE DirtyCommies in Falloutverse. It is unspecified whether China underwent its late-20th and early-21st Century reforms in the ''Fallout'' Universe, but the US propaganda still basically treats them as DirtyCommunists.
* One of the factions you can work for in ''VideoGame/{{Mercenaries}}'' and its sequel.
** Although which category the Chinese faction falls into is never really specified, as they seem to take a vaguely nationalistic stance, if anything. However, they support the populist and presumably Marxist LaResistance and are willing to butt heads with the West, so the first form is at least implied.

Also notice that since China has lately acquired a huge potential as a consumer market for Western media, it makes almost no business sense to offend the peevish Chinese censors and/or audience by casting China or a Chinese person as the villain. Though there are exceptions to censorship in recent years.[[note]]For example, Maverick's jacket in ''Top Gun: Maverick'' reverted his censored jacket back into brandishing the flags of both Taiwan and Japan after the Chinese sponsors pulled out when they realized that the movie glorifies the US Armed Forces (specifically the Air Force and Navy), ''Spiderman: No Way Home'' was blackballed in China for not removing the shots of the Statue of Liberty, ''Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness'' was similarly not released in China due to having a newspaper kiosk with the Chinese name of ''The Epoch Times'' (an anti-CCP, pro-Trump publication) being visible.[[/note]]
