| The move is expected to boost the domestic Chinese cartoon
industry. As per the circular, TV stations are required to ensure
that the proportion of Chinese produced to foreign produced cartoons
broadcast in China exceeds 6:4.
TV stations targeted at minors must show Chinese produced cartoons
between 5 and 7 o'clock in the evening, says the circular. Beneficial
policies have also been issued for Chinese companies that produce
and publish cartoons, including special tax guidelines.
