China announced on Thursday that it will moderately reduce the number of films imported from the United States. This decision comes in response to recent U.S. tariff increases on Chinese imports and reflects changes in audience preferences, according to a spokesperson for the China Film Administration.
The spokesperson explained that the U.S. tariff hikes are likely to impact Chinese viewers’ interest in American movies. As a result, China aims to adapt to market principles by adjusting its import policies.
As the world’s second-largest film market, the Chinese mainland is committed to a high level of openness. The spokesperson added that China will bring in more outstanding films from other countries to satisfy market demand and offer audiences a diverse cinematic experience.
This move signifies a shift in the entertainment landscape, potentially opening doors for films from various parts of the world to captivate Chinese audiences.
