CULTURAL LAWS IN FOCUS

The last two years have seen a rise in legislation on the subject

China's legislation on culture is in the fast lane. The past two years have seen a slew of new laws and regulations being introduced and coming into effect, including the Film Industry Promotion Law, the Public Cultural Service Guarantee Law and the Public Library Law.

Regulated by legislation instead of departmental rules or "red-letterhead documents", cultural development in China is now governed by the rule of law.
