If they had a Chinese villain it would get banned in China. If it had a Chinese experiment go wrong and create a hero then it might get banned in China.
Well, all kinds of material is banned in China, for all kinds of foolish or applicable reasons, as per the case.
Ordinarily I wouldn't give a toss what they do, but then again, they've bought in to all kinds of popular industries, so absolutely they might have a big say in that.
Marvel specifically have made changes for Chinese releases and posters before. They also have enough sway to make John Cena apologize for calling Taiwan a country, leading to John Xina memes.
Yeap, it's a known thing. Similar situation with Daryl Morey and others in the NBA rightfully calling out the Uyghur atrocities, then getting huge negative blowback. Same reason for LeBron, who ordinarily leans towards progressivism, being such a hypocrite and sellout on the matter.
Money, power and influence.
