The Fujian Provincial Government has carried out a series of new policies and measures to facilitate the development of its culture industry.

Ye Feiwen, the director of Fujian’s Development and Reform Commission, made the announcement during a seminar at the seventh Cross-Straits (Xiamen) Cultural Industries Fair, or CCCIF, on October 24.

According to the new policies, enterprises will receive subsidies allocated from provincial tax revenues to encourage contributions concerning creative designs.
