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

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.
