Month for protecting domestic movies

国产片保护月(guochanpian baohu yue)

Since 2004, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television has discouraged theater chains nationwide from showing foreign movies during a certain period in summer in a bid to support domestic movies. The period, of about a month, when audiences can only see domestic movies in cinemas, is called the "month for protecting domestic movies".
