I wouldn't say that. Chinese actors and actresses absolutely get the name recognition in China. It's just that their media doesn't really get big outside of Asia and India.
In other ways Chinese social media can be way more brutal towards famous people. There are definitely creeps in China in regards to famous people, 100%. It just happens differently than in the west. Different cultural, so the values flavor how it happens. Way too complicated for one reply and I'm not even Chinese so I'm not the best person to comment on it deeply anyways.
I've heard some horror stories about fame in China, that's why I wrote the second paragraph.
You're right that objectification can't take the same shape as it does in the west, even if it still happens. And what I meant is that Chinese female stars are not being sexuslized worldwide in the same way that western stars are, but that just might be a product of hegemony rather than a good thing about the Chinese film industry.
