China's TV and radio integrated
broadcasters shall launch special channels and frequencies, time slots,
sections, and modes for programs targeting minors as an audience, says a
draft law on TV and radio. The law
urges mechanisms, such as the commissioner for the protection of minors
and the evaluation committee for programs targeting minors, to ensure
the content is appropriate for children and minors' interests are better
protected. The audience should be
warned when a program may contain content unsuitable for minors and make
a rational arrangement on the program release time and layout, the
draft law states. Public opinion is
being invited until April 16, 2021, for the draft law, which is
available on the website of the National Radio and Television
Administration. The draft law is yet to be tabled before lawmakers for deliberation, which is part of the legislation procedure.
