Business Environment

Since 1949, the PRC media industry has been largely owned and controlled by the state. In recent years, economic and legislative reforms have produced significant change across the media industry in China. The strong and sustained growth of China’s economy has led to substantial development of China’s media industry. The government has reduced subsidies for state-owned media companies, causing the industry to become more commercially oriented. At the same time, deregulation permitting private entities to participate in some sectors of the industry has attracted new investment.

In 2004, China’s media industry included 314 television stations and 282 radio stations, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, and 2,199 newspaper publications and 9,074 magazines, according to the China Print Industry Research Report (2006) by Beijing Huiren Zhongtian Economic Development Co., Ltd.

China has the largest population in the world, estimated by the Population Division of the United Nations to have reached 1.3 billion in 2005. More than 97.0% of all households owned at least one television set, according to 2005 estimates by CSM Media Research. Television signals reached approximately 95.8% of the population by the end of 2005, according to the China Radio and Television Yearbook (2006). China’s radio signals reached 93.6% of the population in 2005, according to the China Radio Rating Yearbook (2005).
