SARFT strengthens network audiovisual program review

Various dramas such as “The Big Bang of Life” and “The Proud and Honest Wife” have recently been removed, involving video sites including Sohu video, Youku, and Tencent videos, etc., and the page on the next page shows “not available for viewing due to policy reasons.”

According to reports, there are currently four US dramas that have come off the shelves. They are the "Big Bang of Life," "Outstanding Bone Wife," "Naval Crime Investigation Office," and "The nature of lawyers." The "Big Bang", which has a relatively large impact, is the exclusive copyright of Sohu Video, and "Observant Wife" is the copyright of Sohu Video, Youku, and Tencent Video.

As early as last month, the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice on strengthening the review of online audio-video content such as online dramas and micro-movies. In addition to self-made dramas and home-made dramas, the major TV dramas and English dramas purchased by major websites will also be reviewed.
