A new analysis of the Chinese TV series *Reset* suggests the show uses science fiction tropes to subtly critique the Chinese government. The series’ narrative of recurring time loops, terrorism, and symbolic imagery, according to the article, doesn’t depict a simple crime drama. Instead, these elements function as an allegory for authoritarian violence and historical repetition within China’s political system. Specifically, the text contends *Reset* represents state repression and the regime’s ongoing political strategies. Ultimately, the series symbolically frames Taiwan as the final objective of China’s territorial and political ambitions. This interpretation posits that the show, despite being a Chinese production, covertly reveals anxieties about the regime’s future plans regarding Taiwan.
