China accepted WTO ruling allowing joint ventures to distribute music online(0) The United States once sued China because of it put obstacles on import and distribution of books, music, movies and other entertainment products. Committing to fulfilling WTO ruling means the Chinese have to adjust its import policy on American movies, audio and video products and books.

Market participants believe that, by contrast, audio-visual products may suffer more. Yesterday, reporter interviewed Tai He Mai Tian, in which Song Ke said that China’s future policy changes would not seriously affect the Chinese original recording industry, he also believed that this would do good to the show market. |
