State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Takes Action! Crackdown on AI-Modified Classic Chinese Novels and Subversive Animated Videos Starting in 2026
The National Radio and Television Administration will launch a one-month special campaign against AI-modified videos starting in January 2026, aiming to curb the disruptive alteration, vulgar deconstruction, and malicious recreation of classic films, historical, and revolutionary-themed works using AI technology. These videos deviate from the original spirit of the works, distort historical understanding, glorify violence and sensationalism, and infringe on copyrights, disrupting the online audiovisual order.
