Anime News Service - The World's Source For Anime News: "6-14-05 (5:16AM EST)---- China Could Ban Foreign Animation Broadcasts To Boost Domestic Industry
State run news agency Xinhua reports China could ban foreign-made cartoons from prime time television once the quantity and quality of domestic cartoons reach a certain level, Chinese language newspaper reports quoted officials at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television as saying Wednesday. The ratio of foreign-made cartoons to domestic ones had already been set to 4:6, said an official at the agency's cartoon department, who refused to give her name. Japanese and American content currently composes the bulk of televised animation in China. "
What??? Sounds like the Great Wall extends to cartoons, too...
