Anime is popular, but other countries are not making it. WHY??

Look up Link Click. Anime made in China. China has a few anime series, but Link Click may be the best one. It’s about a couple guys who use their strange super powers to help others. One can see 12 hours before and after a photo is taken, and the other can possess the picture takes for 12 hours from when the picture was taken (basically time travel with extra steps). They do this to help people and eventually attract the attention of villains with weirder powers. The second season has this wild opening with reversed Chinese rap verses (with matching, mirrored subtitles!). Goes way harder than most anime. And completely original. Dubbed in Chinese, Japanese, and English (that I know of).

To be hero X is another really good Chinese one

Technically those are donghua, not anime, though. Similar in style, different origin.

Not sure about link click but To Be Hero X was co-produced between a Japanese anime studio (I forget which one) and Bilibili. The source material is game franchise, so the line is definitely blurry there. But since Cyberpunk Edgerunners generally counts as anime despite being published by an American company and based on a Polish game, I'd say these can fall under the umbrella also.
