Though its much less popular than kdramas cdramas popularity has been rising a lot in recent years. Do you think there is possibility it can get closer and closer to kdrama popularity?

Definitely I really believe it can 

Maybe if it's available on other platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, Hulu, etc, it might find a larger audience.

It also depends on the kind of content that is produced. China does xanxia/wuxia really well but it might have a niche audience. Some of it's modern dramas are also good. Chinese movies were popular even before Korean movies.

One good thing that China is doing is making multi-sub closed captioning available on it's web dramas. That's the best way to find a larger audience.

I think it can, a lot of big c-ent company are uploading on Youtube for free, and is very bingeable. Most of the series I can watch on Youtube.  The only issues I have is sometime the subtitles aren't timed right, and random music at certain moment on free episode.
