I don't the the experience with the process that you do so my perspective is coming from what I see when watch TV shows and movies. It seems to me that female characters are often not well fleshed out, they have odd dialogues, or motivations and seem behave as if the writer wrote that part for a man and then cast a female in that part. Now maybe that's just a byproduct of the focus groups saying a character was too strong for your Chinese male but it sure seems to me like that would have started in the writing stages.
