CPPCC Delegate Calls for Introduction of Film Rating System

The Nanfang Daily newspaper has carried an interview with CPPCC member Wang Xingdong, who has issued strong calls for the introduction of a film rating system.

Wang Xingdong, a famous playwright, received a lukewarm response when he put forward the same proposal two years ago. He decided to submit the proposal again, partly due to a recent experience when he saw a film full of scenes depicting homosexuality and incest being shown in a primary school.

He says a film rating system should be introduced into China so viewers will know exactly what to expect, and embarrassment can be avoided.

According to his own investigations, Wang Xingdong says a youngster sees scenes of violence over 7,000 times a year in films and TV shows.
