Congress moves to save culture

THE National People’s Congress Standing Committee yesterday approved a law to improve cultural services, after three readings.

The law, which will go into effect on March 1, aims to carry forward the traditions of Chinese culture and cultural confidence.

Public cultural services must be people-oriented and “guided by socialist core values,” the law says. County-level governments and above must improve community cultural service centers, build more of them and offer more products online. Private funds will be invited to finance public cultural facilities.

Rural authorities must provide more books, newspapers, magazines, opera performances, movies, radio programs and online information, as well as festivals and sporting activities to ensure equal service with urban areas. And public services should serve special groups such as minors, the elderly, the disabled and migrant workers.
