> There is so much glorification of the US Government in so many Hollywood movies it has simply become a thing to filter out.

There is almost as much vilification of the USG as there is glorification.

For example, a stereotypical USG Agent Gone Rogue character can just as easily be the hero as the villain in a Hollywood blockbuster (with the rest of the agency, or at least it's leadership, serving as the opposing villain or hero as needed). I don't know enough about Chinese cinema to say for certain whether the equivalent is true in that context, but the superficial impression I have is that it is not.
