Recently, the Chinese Communist Party has tightened censorship on audiovisual programs, including online cartoons, causing a large number of Japanese cartoons to disappear from Chinese websites, infuriating Chinese anime fans who have said they want to “migrate to Taiwan” over the wall.
Last month, the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television of the Communist Party of China (GACFT) launched the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Radio and Television (Draft for Public Comments)”, which clarifies the broadcast and television properties of online audio-visual programs, stipulating that the content broadcast online and offline needs to be standardized and managed. This means that every episode of anime broadcast on the Internet may need to be filed as well as censored in the future. In the past, Japanese animation broadcast on China’s network platform, only need to pass the platform self-censorship.
The new rule of “review before broadcast” has led to a number of Japanese anime purchased exclusively by the famous Chinese film and television platform Bilibili (Beili Beili, commonly known as B station), which have not been able to hit the shelves so far. The animation schedule made public on the B site shows that only a few new serials of Chinese anime have been released in the past and the coming week, and most days on the schedule are blank. At present, many Japanese anime on the B site have become restricted to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Chinese anime fans are now complaining, many people have said in Baidu posting, microblogging, B site, to hang VPN immigration to Taiwan website “Baha”, “animation crazy” or to B station Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan area, and some people even jokingly said that they will be Taiwan people.
Taiwan’s Central Broadcasting Station published an op-ed analysis, “first to review and then broadcast” will reduce the popularity of the network platform, originally anime fans to see the new Japanese manga, but the new Japanese manga is not served, so anime fans have to go to other platforms to find, so not only let the platform lost a lot of viewers, but also contributed to the culture of piracy.
As for whether anime fans will go from Japanese comics to Chinese anime, the article believes not, because the quality of Chinese comics is worrying, basically can not sell, anime fans are incidentally look at, now the Japanese comics can not see, the audience lost, Chinese comics naturally no one to see, which is basically a devastating blow to Chinese comics. This is completely hurt the enemy a hundred, self-loss 10,000 deal.
