New law is expected to promote development of the film industry

China Daily | Updated: 2015-11-02 08:49

THE STANDING COMMITTEE of the National People's Congress began reviewing a draft of the first law concerning the development of the film industry on Friday. Details of the draft have aroused much discussion. Comments:

While many countries adopt film classification with clear, detailed standards, in China film censoring is done by a committee invested with almost unlimited power following quite ambiguous rules. They judge which scenes of a film are violent or obscene totally out of personal feelings and that's why their decisions to cut or reedit certain scenes are often widely criticized by domestic audiences. The new law should define clear standards for the committee to follow or the domestic film industry will continue to be a joke.
