I looked him up and am listening to one of his videos right now. He's an ex-communicated scientologist who worked in special effects and went to China to work in their film industry and made a hit film or something like that. He's gotten an extremely rosey view of China and has really embraced their culture. I think his message starts in a place of sincerity, but is likely being strongly encouraged to spread that message to the west.
That said, I'm finding his videos to be interesting, he's good at breaking down chinese culture and history, and making it meaningful to western sensibilities. I wouldn't set my watch by anything he says, but I like the perspective he offers and I've always been a little too quick to dismiss chinese culture and history, so I plan to listen to some more.
