There is always the possibility that some Chinese film line is restarted
If Shanghai film is any indication, though, they'll be selling the film at the same price everyone else does. There's no reason they'd undercut Kodak and Fuji prices by very much.

Kodak just announced that they have stopped ColorPlus production, so that frees up a Chinese line and some expertise (might even have already happened).
Wouldn't the bulk rolls of Cinestill film be cheaper than $9 a roll?. Requires a darkroom or changing bag and some skill in loading, of course but with only 2 responses we have no way of knowing if raquelle would consider this avenue
What seems certain is that in the near future colour roll film prices can only rise way further and take prices way beyond her affordable price of $9 a roll. So bad news, raquelle, I am afraid
If demand continues to outstrip supply and as a result prices rise in the current manner, what chance HIE might become a viable proposition or is the "pay whatever it takes" phenomenon confined to b&w?

Are you saying Eastman Kodak is (or was) producing Kodak ColorPlus in China?

He is, but they haven't produced/manufactured/confectioned any film in China for quite some time. They have one production facility in the USA, and Kodak Alaris buys and distributes all the Kodak branded film in the world from the USA facility.
Whether or not ColorPlus was aimed at the market in China and other markets outside North America and Europe is a different question.
Where does Eastman Kodak confection 35mm film into cassettes?
