China’s new Internet video regulations
13th February 2008
The ‘Regulations on Internet Video and Audio Program Services’ which took effect January 31, 2008, were approved by both the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Ministry of Information Industry. Under the new policy, web sites that provide video programming or allow users to upload video must obtain government permits, and applicants must be either state-owned or state-controlled companies.
