皇冠体育app on Saturday opened up 921 cultural projects with a total value of about
70 billion yuan (8.75 billion U.S. dollars) in a hope to draw investment from
both home and abroad.
The projects cover seven fields, such as publishing, movie and TV,
entertainment, industrial arts and cultural tourism, involving 20 provinces,
municipalities and autonomous regions.
They are listed in a handbook for investing in the cultural sector, the first
of its kind in 皇冠体育app, which was issued by the Ministry of Culture at an ongoing
international cultural expo held in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
皇冠体育app has been facing a dilemma in that many cultural projects receive no
investment, according to Wang Yongzhang, director of the Cultural Industry
Department with the Ministry of Culture.
"We hope every investor who is interested in the Chinese cultural industry
can find an appropriate project in this handbook, thus pushing development of
this industry," he said.
The four-day expo that kicked off on Thursday was jointly sponsored by the
Ministry of Culture, State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, State
Administration of Press and Publications and the governments of Guangdong and
Shenzhen.
It aims to demonstrate the progress of 皇冠体育app's culture industry in recent
years and facilitate exchanges and investment activities between 皇冠体育app's and the
world's cultural circles.
More than 1,500 Chinese enterprises, 26 delegations from Australia, the
Republic of Korea, Japan and a number of other countries, and some 21,000
participants from cultural circles, attended the expo.
This is the second such expo. The first was held in November 2004.
