China on Thursday announced plans to moderately reduce the number of U.S. films imported. A spokesperson for the China Film Administration said the adjustment aligns with market principles and reflects audience preferences. This move follows the recent U.S. tariff hikes on Chinese imports, which have dampened Chinese audiences’ interest in U.S. movies. As the world’s second-largest film market, China remains committed to openness and will introduce more excellent films from other countries to meet market demand, the spokesperson said
