“Starting August 1, dramas with “strong entertainment value” such as historical dramas and idol dramas will not be aired.”
So only the boring dramas will be shown? ✌️ China! But WTF?
Do a dig around YouTube to see what Cdramas are already out/finished airing to see what piques your interest?? And if you need subs, but Youtube doesn’t have any for the drama you wanna view, then check Viki/Netflix??
This is making me wonder if the CP has lost its grip on reality. Seems to be a stupid move which riles up their people, achieves nothing and reinforces the idea that they are control freaks. If this kind of thinking permeates the whole party, I am even more concerned about them handling the current political and economic issues.
Yea, I actually heard about this piece of news as early as February and was actually telling my mom about it because I thought it was going to be implemented ASAP, and not dragged out ‘til now, the summer months
At the time they were giving networks a heads up and it was supposed to be secret. Of course there’s no secrets on weibo. I remember the official response at the time was denial of such policy.

Good thing “…Squid” juuuuuust finished, or else the last few episodes wouldn’t have made it on air…. I guess the episode cut, from 44 to 41, was a good thing??

So maybe shouldn’t start any of the new c dramas I’ve been eyeing.
This is honestly horrible, I’m not for censorship, but the wording is a bit amusing. Watch these they have value, but will not entertain you.

It’s probably the current economic and political (especially) issues that is what’s influencing this decision

This is not new. The screenshots of memos have been circulating weibo since, I would say March.

There’s no secret on Weibo, there’s no hiding anything from netizens
