New movie distribution rules in China will forbid mixed live action and cartoon characters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“These human live-action, so-called animation pieces will not receive distribution or distribution licenses,” read the order, issued Feb. 15. However, films and shows that have already received permits will continue to air.<\/p>\n

CGI and 2-D characters alongside human actors jeopardize “the broadcast order of homemade animation and mislead their development,” according to a report from the state-run Xinhua News Agency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

Order comes as the Chinese government attempts to increase local production of Mandarin-language toons and cut the amount of foreign animated programming appearing on Chinese television.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah. Protectionism, That I understand.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, evidently one reason the Japanese buy so many cars is that the auto industry there has convinced the government to require costly inspections of cars starting at only a few years old. And now they’ve managed to get a law passed preventing the resale of electronic gizmos more than a few years old<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

The first ones to talk to the government about this were the car manufacturers, and they convinced the government to enforce a rule that used cars have to go to the technical inspection after 3 years, and this is a costly matter since a check costs between 1500 and 3500 EUR. Once you’re in the system, you have to get your car checked every 2 years, and once your car is 10 years old, you need to go there every year. This is a reson why the Japanese change cars quite fast, usually before the car is 3 years old. Important aspect is that you have no control whatsoever on the cost of possible repairs, because after the technical check, the car is driven to the garage and they do the repairs that the technical check asked them to do, you just get the bill with your car. A very nice rip-off… and this system is being envied by a lot of other domains, like the electronics domain at this moment. So from April 1st 2006, ALL electronic products sold in Japan before 2001 will be prohibited from the 2nd hand market! This means that for example a PC like the Vaio U1 (PCG-U1) will be soon not vailable on the Japanese market anymore, since it was sold in April 2002… and you still have about a month to get a Vaio C1! It also seems that a 5 yeas old product (made after 2001) will Face the same problem in the futur.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure American industry is watching this trend carefully.<\/p>\n
