Editing Science and technology in China (section)

=== Entertainment-related technologies ===
The [[Chinese animation]] industry and access to the latest technology, such as [[3D computer graphics|3D]] [[computer-generated imagery]] technology, is actively supported by the Chinese government and included in the latest national planning. In part, this may be because of a desire to increase Chinese [[soft power]]. The same technology as in Hollywood is available and much [[postproduction]] is outsourced to China. Successful indigenous artistic creativity is seen as a problem and may be restricted by factors such as production being aimed at getting government patronage rather than public approval, censorship, and some storylines based on Chinese culture not appealing to foreign audiences.<ref>Benjamin Haas, Chinese make big push into animation, August 17, 2011, [[Los Angeles Times]]</ref> [[DreamWorks Animation]], in a joint venture with Chinese companies, will set up a studio in Shanghai that may eventually get bigger than DreamWorks HQ, in part to avoid to quota restrictions on foreign films with China within a decade having been predicted to become the world's biggest cinema and entertainment market.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dreamworks-animation-unveil-landmark-joint-291260|title=DreamWorks Animation to Unveil Landmark Joint Venture in China (Report)|author=Georg Szalai|work=The Hollywood Reporter}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2012/02/dreamworks-animation-china-studio-oriental-dreamworks.html|title=DreamWorks Animation unveils China studio plans|date=17 February 2012|work=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> [[Disney]] has also entered into a partnership in order to help develop the Chinese animation industry.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-xpm-2012-apr-11-la-fi-ct-disney-china-animation-20120411-story.html|title=Disney, China to join in animation initiative|last1=Pierson|first1=David|date=11 April 2012|work=Los Angeles Times|last2=Verrier|first2=Richard}}</ref>

The China Research Institute of Film Science & Technology and the [[China Film Group Corporation]] developed and in 2012 put into commercial use the [[DMAX (company)|DMAX]] [[motion picture]] [[film format]] as well as associated technologies.
