China Agrees to Increased Access for U.S. Films
China and the U.S. reached a deal that would make it easier and more profitable for Hollywood studios to show their films in China, a development that Vice President Joe Biden said would “significantly increase” access for American-made films.
The agreement represents an effort to resolve a standoff that dates to 2009, when the World Trade Organization ruled that China’s policy of allowing 20 foreign films a year to be shown there violated international trade rules.
