| This story turned out to be fake The news of the ban on uploads of Japanese anime/manga was confirmed to be a false rumor. I apologize for providing a wrong story and retract this news. Source: Daqi.com News credit: Iiotoko The State Administration of Radio Film and Television of China announced that they put a ban on the uploads of Japanese Anime, Manga, TV programs, games and movies to the Chinese websites. All the prohibited data will be deleted by May 1st. Chinese govenment has prohibited the airing of Japanese anime between 5pm - 8pm in order to protect the domestic anime industry.

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Hmm...it gives a list of banned titles too. Seems pretty accurate. I fail at simplified though. D: |

dtshyk said: Could anyone who can read Chinese make sure if I understand the news source correctly? Google translator is not 100% reliable... Yep, that's what your website says. HOWEVER, that website got the info from somewhere else, which means the accuracy is still left to be determined. This also bans all pirated Japanese games, Japanese TV series, Japanese movies AND Japanese mangas upload on Chinese websites. They are scheduled to be deleted on May 1rst 2009 (left to be seen). The way they've written it, this may also apply to any *illegal* (hey, there was copyright in China? LOL) movies, games and tv series. Well, we'll see if I can still find manga and anime by May 10 And by the way, it's apparently issued by the State Administration of Radio Film and Television of China, NOT by ONLY the Guangdong province. |

| in essence they are admitting that their anime suck enough to need protection from the government. they still have a long way to go. competition breeds better quality. i guess they still have a long way to go. |

The manga artists, though, are quite remarkable. mflatischler said: T_T bye bye to some of the raws bittorrent sources I hope torrent is not covered by this law. |

| This might be a blow to subbing groups since most get Chinese subs before translating to English. I wonder how it will effect things. |

If you want to access a foreign website, you must request the permission from the government (I'm serious here) Pirated DVDs are the only way out. |

| I had no problem downloading anime and manga from the non-Chinese sites last time I was in China. That was a few years ago, but still. They don't autoblock everything from non-Chinese ISPs. If the site you use gets flagged, then you have a problem though. |

Yeah, some sites are blocked, others aren't. It all depends on the government's Golden Shield Program filter.... |

| It's only a rumor on the web. There's no information on the official site. http://www.chinasarft.gov.cn/ However, 1 or 2 month ago, they made a list of restrictions on media on the web and TV, not only anime. http://www.sarft.gov.cn/articles/2009/03/30/20090330171107690049.html We don't really care. They can't do shit about torrent and emule. Oh and, wakka9ca said: HappyPear said: Does this apply to Hong Kong?

| I'm not surprised.. They've already banned a lot.. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| you know eventually they will ban things to the point where people just turn into zombies since they cant do anything else. |
| Proxy overload when this goes through. |
yunadestined said: I'm not surprised.. They've already banned a lot.. Everything still gets through. China is still the freest country in terms of P2P and online media resource. Oh and 7 RMB DVD stand are still everywhere on the streets. |
| Wow, add that to my ever growing list of why I'll never go to China. (Except for business) And I better bring my own anime if I ever do. |
