From AP:
Hollywood director James Cameron urged China to open its doors to more foreign films, arguing it would boost the local cinema industry after the WTO ruled Beijing was illegally restricting movie and other media imports.
In Beijing to promote his latest sci-fi extravaganza, “Avatar,” Cameron said Wednesday that China’s breakneck economic growth meant it no longer needed measures to protect its film industry.
“China’s economy is expanding very, very rapidly. And I think the feeling right now is that perhaps it doesn’t need to be protecting itself quite as much,” Cameron, the director of blockbusters that include “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and “Titanic,” told reporters. “Chinese filmmakers are very strong … they’re highly respected.”
