The Nanfang Daily newspaper has carried an interview with CPPCC member Wang Xingdong, who has issued strong calls for the introduction of a film rating system.
Wang Xingdong, a famous playwright, received a lukewarm response when he put forward the same proposal two years ago. He decided to submit the proposal again, partly due to a recent experience when he saw a film full of scenes depicting homosexuality and incest being shown in a primary school.
He says a film rating system should be introduced into China so viewers will know exactly what to expect, and embarrassment can be avoided.
According to his own investigations, Wang Xingdong says a youngster sees scenes of violence over 7,000 times a year in films and TV shows.
