I am so glad I don’t live in China.
China’s State Administration of Radio Film and Television and Ministry of Information Industry recently announced new regulations on digital media that will go into effect at the end of January.
The regulations cover professionally produced content distributed online but there is speculation the state will begin to more tightly regulate content on international sites and Chinese video sharing sites.
Wonder how this will affect the coming Chinese YouTube.
