The Rise of Anime in China: A Cultural and Economic Force
This event arrives at a pivotal moment for the anime industry in China. Once largely dominated by Japanese imports, the Chinese animation market is experiencing explosive growth. Government support, coupled with increasing domestic production and a passionate fanbase, is fueling a creative renaissance. According to recent reports, the Chinese animation market is projected to reach over $40 billion USD by 2026, making it a key player on the global stage.
