Please. Saying "Holywood will likely refuse to cast" mainland Chinese actors is blatantly going against REALITY, where Hollywood actually loves to cast mainland actors in their movies to boost appeal in China. This is especially true if the movie is a US/China co-production like The Meg where the wholeass female lead is Li Bingbing who spoke perfect English without an American or British accent. If they want to (and they often do), they will get someone. If they can't get someone, they will cast the actor they want anyway in a role that requires little to no English dialogue. I've lost count how many times throughout the 10's where I'd be watching a random Hollywood blockbuster and suddenly see a famous face from Chinese language film/television popping up for some tenuous plot reason. MCU? X-Men? Transformers? Independence Day? It's a lot. All the major studios do it.

Honestly I was reading your secret thinking, "This doesn't make any sense. Where are they going with this? I hope they don't bring up Wang Yibo or someone like that..." and lo and behold. This tells me that you're riding into Chinese language media on the recent C-drama wave and are fixated on the handful of actors prevalent in that world. You've made up this entire casting narrative about "accented" Chinese actors without considering whether it's even true to the reality of the industry, or if it would make sense for someone to make the career jump from Chinese TV to Hollywood. The comment just above mine goes more into detail on that.

Finally, and this is just a minor point but it irked me anyway: the Chinese characters in the novel are high-society elites. Just like the family from the first film (and just members of Chinese high society IRL), they have extensive Western education and can speak English much better than most actors in C-drama. So no, those peeps are not getting cast for those roles either way.
