I think it's significant that Simu Liu isn't just the typical pretty boy Asian that the Chinese wanted. If that's all he were, it would reinforce the image that unless you look like one of them you can't be a leading man and considered even eligible as a person. Otherwise you're relegated to all the other stereotypical Asian roles.
Having someone look more like Simu Liu helps the world come more to terms with the fact that Asian people can have all kinds of appearances and yet are still as valuable as anyone else. It might also help both Asians and Westerners to appreciate all kinds of beauty in people. It's not like he's ugly anyway.
