Li Wuwei, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, stated that the effort in cultural creative industry development will become an effective way to assist China’s economic transition in the midst of the current international economic crisis. Li was speaking on September 9 at the International Cultural Industry Forum held in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, during the 13th China International Fair for Trade and Investment.
Li also introduced the following four initiatives: include the creative product industry in the national development plan; form a relaxed and tolerant cultural atmosphere to allow NGOs in the creative industry to grow; establish a nationwide cultural creative policy; use a few “testing sites” in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shengzhen to showcase the end results during the Shanghai Expo in 2010.
