China to 'moderately reduce' number of US film imports: China Film Administration

Beijing: China's Film Administration said on Thursday it would "moderately reduce" the number of US films it imported into the country, as a standoff between the world's two largest economies escalates. "The wrong action of the US government's indiscriminate tariffs on China is bound to further reduce the favourable impression of domestic audiences on American films... We will follow the law of the market, respect the choice of the audience, and moderately reduce the number of US films imported," a statement from the film administration said.
