China: “Destroy Japanese Anime!”

A recent comment by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao decrying the lack of Chinese anime has incited a flurry of online support, with Chinese net users vigorously denouncing Japanese anime.
The Premier started the fracas by publically lamenting the current poverty of Chinese visual culture:
“There are times when I watch TV anime with my grandchild, but they’re always foreign works like Ultraman and so on, and few are domestically produced. We should be cultivating a domestic anime industry.”
Ultraman (which is a tokusatsu live action show rather than an anime per se) is currently all the rage amongst the youth of China, but parents are said to be anxious about the programme; net users criticise it: “Ultraman is Japanese. All he does is fight. Have all the Chinese who can make anime disappeared?”
More extreme voices of support are also heard: “Kill Ultraman and all the other Japanese anime!”
China has in recent years been working to strengthen its domestic anime industry, with a variety of successful titles being brought to air, such as 喜羊羊与灰太狼 / Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, a hit children’s show with over 500 episodes aired since its inception in 2005.
However, heavy restrictions on the amount of foreign programming allowed also ensure that fans of international anime have no legitimate recourse for viewing their favourite titles, although mass-market anime such as Doraemon or Detective Conan is of course in a different league to niche Japanese titles.
Chinese are said to be generally critical of their country’s anime output so far, characterising it as “insipid, tedious and preachy”, suggesting more effort is required.
Via Record China.
Although the development of Chinese visual culture shows promise, and represents a potentially substantial market, with artistic expression so firmly curtailed by the state and with plagiarism and copying so rife, it seems the Premier’s utterances may miss the point…

China has anime?
fuck you mainlanders, Taiwan ftw.
Taiwan? You guys lost the chinese civil war and ran your sorry ass to a tiny island.
Yeah, a tiny island within convenient logistics range of USA airbases in Guam, the Philippines, and sometimes Japan (depending on whether the jarheads are running amok or not).
How's your sub fleet? How about your surface fleet?
we have... GUNDAM =D
Kill Ultraman? Do they realize he's a fictional character?
China and Japan are tsundere for each other, seriously, just fuck already.
yeah like white's and black cmon just fuck already....
U guys know nothing =.= . Chinese can fuck their own ass =.=.
Trust me.
every chinese is a skin head one. the Russian skin head is sinking on it.
The Whole thing we can see now is totally "chinese's national selfish" in all things, anime, game, economy, military, ...
Yes we are all skin heads, sorry but im gonna have to bend you over and fuck you in the ass for that one.
Not every chinese is a "Skin Head One" but rather every caucasian.
ahem, sorry, just for the record, real skinheads arent rascist, they were a culture that came out of jamaica came to england and prospered, originally bringing whites and blacks togeather, its true, look it up.
The Skinhead Family Tree-http://blogs.evergreen.edu/iansubordinate/files/2009/05/family_treelarge1.gif
China are great people, but they become racist about Anime like Ultraman.
I might say that China is becoming the worst country ever because they dont like anime.
if China dont like anime, so, they shouldnt watch it.
its their problem.
Anime is fun for everyone. I know some people dont like old anime like Doraemon or Case Closed or even Ultraman.
So China, GET THE HELL OVER IT ABOUT ANIME!!!!!!!!!!
And look at you, getting all riled up over China all because of anime.
people still believe china from inside to outside is communist ?
Haha, of course. I mean, why would they think otherwise? Most of them haven't even been there, so all they know is what they've been told by the news or some other third-party source.
China man...why they always live in the past...let it go already...well, if ur kids like ultraman and japanese anime, try to create something better, stop being sore losers!
we don't live in the past, your the ones who are.
Quit sinking your american teeth into african slavery and shit like that.
-_- Chinese can go ahead and try to make a better anime than Japan, no one is stopping them.
Just leave the Japanese anime alone while they make their own anime. Ever heard of fair competition?
But of course, being a communist country. That might not apply to Chinese.
i agree.
Chinese are totatlly no brainer on anime than Japanese people.
Japanese won still on media than Chinese.
no one is stopping china from creating their own anime oh wait, the govt. probably would, the same one saying there is no chinese animation.
if americans can create a successful animation set in China to the point were the Chinese wondered why they didn't make it first, maybe they should stop criticizing Japan
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/11/AR2008071103281_2.html?sid=ST2008071102625
I can't see a word in this article that means "Destroy Japanese Anime".

good Japan is the GREATEST nation in the earth no, the universe. In fact, putting it into words does not do its greatness any justice at all. Just submit to their greatness. The chinese (CHINKS)AND Koreans (GOOKS) ARE LIARS and less then human beneath pigs no ants. Anyone who disagrees should DIE a horrible death.
mhm, okay, right, are you a white nationalist or something? All I know is that you are choosing to state that Japan, a country still highly connected with naziism, Im going to take it that you are still sore from China, America, and the UK kicking your worthless asses around the globe? Okay, just thought I'd snap you out from your little rascist rant.
obvious troll is obvious.
One misunderstanding about China and anime is that it's only the Chinese government that doesn't support any forms of animation other than its own, not its people.
Actually, China has its own animation style, but those *real* artists feel no need to work in China's animation companies since they do not feel the need and detest China's way of anime banning.
So before anyone says anything about China plagiarizing Japanese anime, keep the extent to only the government, not the people. Don't belive it? Check out Shel, Eno, or Benjamin's works. Attack the gov all you like, but just because the gov is corrupted, it doesn't mean its people are.
喜羊羊与灰太狼 is the worst, looks like it was made with Adobe Flash.

Chinese cartoons (donghua) suck so horribly. The lip-synch is completely off, coloring looks like something out of a 7-year-old's coloring book, I'd never watch it again, after having tried so throughout my youth. The only thing China does great is dubbing Japanese anime, their job blows US versions out of the water.
I don't like the Hong King and taiwan dubs.
They got like 1 voice for 8 different people on the same scene.
5 Japan is the GREATEST nation in the earth no, the universe. In fact, putting it into words does not do its greatness any justice at all. Just submit to their greatness. The chinese (CHINKS)AND Koreans (GOOKS) ARE LIARS and less then human beneath pigs no ants. Anyone who disagrees should DIE a horrible death.
Not every Chinese is the same, some love Japanese anime and manga and some do not; I guess the Premier's grandson definitely do not want to agree with him if he can not watch Ultraman any more because his grandpa. Here's clearly a gap between the older and younger generation of Chinese; Older Chinese people may hate Japan because the WO II (google for "Rape of Nanking"), while the younger generation loves Japan for its culture like music (J-pop, fashion, manga, anime) and as a holiday destination. This kind of post is prompt to be flammed by many against each other just as usual. Also anime is a Japanese term, the Premier must mean "卡通", what "cartoon" means which is different, especially for the purists. This incident says more about the Premier (who want more national products - in this case: Chinese cartoons) and a bunch of trolls on the net ( who want to "destroy" Japanese anime): that they are more nationalists rather communists. Also google for what communism really means if you really don't know what it is in theory and in practice. Maybe a South Park episode about this should be made, since this is so funny, especially with Eric Cartman & Co..
so it's not just the Philippines then.
Wen: i bet its kinda cool if we had some domestically produced anime.
a chinese: all hail Wen, now move your ass and get some anime done already! Another ch: no freedom of express, no anime. Another ch: thereare other issuses b4 we can make anime as quality as ja ones.Another ch: Another ch: wtf? kill ja anime!
Artefact: china says, "Destroy japanese anime!"
SC commoner: china sucks,china phail, china is plagiarism,.. i feel ashamed to have chinese blood in my vein...
(comments/rants/viewcounts blooms to sth like over 200)
Artefact: sensationalism FTW.
Amusing. These articles all seem to play out the same way. To have a proper China Quality post you must have:
1. People who read title and look at pictures but who do not read entire article
2. Anonymous China defender guy who brings up the 5000 year history thing
3. Communist/socialist labeling argument
4. Self-hating Chinese comments
5. KonW trying to make a decent argument in China's defense critical of Artefact's techniques for growing his viewership (although not gets my attention like politics and panties so way to pander to your audience Artefact)
Seriously though, a China that doesn't suck is preferable to the current China. Yes Kon not every Chinese is a nationalist, Japanese/American attacking, robot under the control of the government, but with a population of over a billion people there are enough that are that it makes people uncomfortable.
So go on China please quit sucking at making cartoons. Please provide suitable competition to the Japanese so that they can make even better anime since Americans are lazy and would prefer to just buy anime from Japan with money borrowed from China then make it themselves.
Maybe if they get good at making cartoons they won't have to steal as much...
Was there a problem providing people what they want?
not at all, in fact thank you
fuck you if your chinese then kill yourself bitch and you stink like a hoe so there fucker china is better then youll ever be
japanese anime = originality
chinese anime = plagiarism
yeah, i'm 1/8 chinese and i am disgusted by my homeland
China wants to be the next American Idol.
They will try to be the best at everything, "china quality".
*facepalm*
Hahaha, anime is teh plague which cannot be stopped - CHINA FAILS.
+ Damn, they should take a look to some NEW animes... or GOOD old-schools...
Lol...Does China, or Wen actually realise that there will never be anime produced by Chinese? To call a project done by, and done in China anime, is itself an insult to anime. Anime is only anime when done by, produced in, and voiced by Japanese.
Just because there's a lack of production of cartoons in China, doesn't mean China should actually start producing. It's only going to be FAIL. In Chinese, there's this saying "Ban Men Nong Fu", which literally means to craft an axe just outside a renowned blacksmith, and claim it's the best. Basically, it means that: There's absolutely no point in trying boast in front of an expert. China will only emphasize on its failure on cartoons if it does try to create something akin to anime.
Wen's comments: Pointless, fail and I believe was never processed properly before relaying to others.
it never means you shouldnt try...
China doesn't have an anime style. They just plagiarize other people's works and CLAIM it as their own. I went to the INTERNATIONAL Tokyo Anime Fair 2009 and they actually had a section for Chinese produced "anime". It had the Journey to the west and some other stuff but it's basically all the same shit. They copied drawing styles from Disney and all of them had MARTIAL ARTS and FIGHTING SCENES! And they had the galls to complain that all Ultraman does is fight? O, and guess what, I was at the Anime Fair the whole day and NOT ONCE had I seen the seats (maybe like about 20~40 seats) all filled up. At max probably 5~10 people there at one time. It's so laughable. At least I got a good pic at one of the China girl in a China dress. That's about the ONLY thing that China has done right in their entire history. If only they had expand on making better/more/better advertised China dresses, they'd actually make some fucking progress.
I feel ashamed of myself as a chinese even though im a singaporean cuz of those crap policies in china
Internet to China: 0/10
In the words of Shrek
Yeah right, as if that's ever gonna happen
New news on old topic actually, the Chinese had been going hard on Japanese anime for years. Even though they've recently collaborated with Hong Kong to make the wonderful "Storm Rider: Clash of Evils" and it's upcoming sequel, young kids still goes "DO NOT WANT" and "VERY NO" when they see the animation their motherland had produced.
China, the same country where you can shit on the street, own sex slaves, and use ATM booths as cum receptacles.
Ahahaha, they're complaining of poor quality domestic animation? They should be complaining about poor quality EVERYTHING.
Anime is a Japanese slang word for animation.In most foreign speaking countries,it's a different word but nowadays it became a pop culture reference.I wouldn't call it anime if it isn't produced by a certain Japanese unit,it's just a Japanese animated-cross-reference style byproduct like manga is for Japanese visual comic and manhwa is for Korean visual comic.
this place is full of retarded people.........
Try to mess with china "NOW" and your country will be flat to the ground in seconds
This "China" at present is not the real "China". In the 17th century the "real" China invaded by a vessel kingdom from Manchu. This incident lead to formed the Qing Dynasty.
Chinese never accept this defeat and follow the merge of Manchu Teritory to the mainland they claim it "Chinese". The real thing is: China fall by the defeat in 17th century, the China today is the descentdants of vessel kingdom Manchu.
Chinese, do you proud of it ?
Nice point, men.
Back to the history, long before the rise of the Manchurian Yurchens, when Zhu Yuanzhang made a rebellion against the Mongols and became Emperor of Ming dynasty, he swallowed many non-Chinese lands conquered by the Mongols. It's not legitimated at all, yes, but who care? The Chineses just kept on take the profit, always.
Down to Chinese expansionism!!!
Try to mess with other country NOW, and China will be flat to the ground by the rest of the world.
No one alive forever.
China makes some cartoon for KID
and now they are thinking they can replace anime
man...China is surely awesome
I am speechless...
Yah, indeed, Chinese is awesome.
We surely understand that more than anyone else on this world, lol.
It's funny how the articles that get the most postings are ones pitting nationalities against one another...
China vs Japan
Japan vs China
S.Korea vs everyone else
...and so...
It's hate mongering at it's finest.
Is that Ultraman Cosmos with Team EYES?!
Actually I think that’s good news.
Sure, China seems to have a bad reputation as a place with no copyright laws and no respect for artists’ works. How could they create good anime if they don’t value art? But let’s think about this for a minute. That country has over 1.3 billion people with varied cultural background (although I’m no expert it doesn’t seem far-fetched to think that southern Chineses and northern ones are quite different). Said culture is also frequently recognized as fairly interesting. Now take those elements into account and imagine the creativity potential of that country. I’m pretty certain Chinese anime directed by talented Chinese people could be fairly good. And refreshing.
Of course such quality stuff won’t appear overnight. At first they will probably produce shitty anime aimed at young children. However after some time I’m pretty sure the Chinese anime market will follow the 90/10 rule that exists for everything, everywhere: 90% of produced goods will be mediocre and 10% exceptional.
As for the “destroy Japanese anime” part… Quite frankly I do not see how the Chinese prime minister’s quote can be interpreted that way. We don’t even know who the quoted net users are. I would not be surprised if they were some of those radical nationalists who go crazy every time China is mentioned while normal people just do not give a damn.
All in all a growth of the Chinese anime market could be a good thing for everyone. China would be happy, Japan probably wouldn’t care, and animation fans everywhere would rejoice to get new and culturally different anime. I’m looking forward to that.
(My apologies for possible grammar errors or potentially offensive choice of words. English is not my native language so I do not quite grasp connotations and such).
I believe those " radical nationalists" are actually the infamous Chinese internet police. China and Vietnam have a bunch of those guys to make sure that ppl on the net cannot go against their communist-autorianist government.
I myself hope for some epic battle Chinese cartoon. Their cultural background guarantee that it's not a bad deal, and very possible, too. XD
But there is sumthing make me worry, the "Great Han expansionism" in the head of Chinese ppl. This event prove that.
You Chinese ppl have the right to improve watever you want, in your own land, that's your business, and no one like to interfere. But plz do not step on someone else foot, if you do not want to be chopped. That's all.
u r just fucking big loser in Vietnam war =))
A good part of the new Chinese youth watch anime.
My cousin lives in Beijing, they get their subs about a day quicker than we do.
Another example of old Chinese grudges.
I hope people realize that not all Chinese people are like these fucktards.
anime was orignally from japan by a fucking china man named kuling sooyoung and then spread to the racist country of japan i dont balme china for hating anime i do cause it is freaking racist no blakcs no or not any colored people so that is a good thing china hatese anime cause it is racist and fucking not real and shut the fuck up china is the largest asian country in the world besides you should be worried about north korea and there missle launching gig
Right, hopefully I can try to stop the whole "China is shit" thing.
Heres the deal, yes, China has a bad reputation, this is basically because America, a right of centre/right wing, capitalist country cannot make things in as greater mass, or for less money than the chinese, because obviously, China is a communist country.
Now, Im essentially neutral in this whole debate, because I'm a brit, but I just want to point out that any of the allied forces in the second world war, especially Britain and America ¬.¬ would have been destroyed had it not been for the chinese, not only stopping much of their industry to help build war machines and guns, but also repelling the Japanese and other enemy forces, we'd probably all be speaking German right about now. Voice of reason, over and out. :P
I doubt he was actually saying 'anime' per se, more like the translators got lazy and just used 'anime' instead of 'animation' which has a broader meaning of just cartoons without geographic implications.
+1
LOL, destroy Japanese anime?
They already do that by plagiarizing anime.
As a chinese, i think china is very cheapskate....They LOVE to copy everything other's does...
I can't exactly agree with their opinions on not allowing Japanese anime but I do agree they should be working on creating their on anime or making more effort to do so, many past offerings have been lackluster at best and usually involve some form of copy infringement such as stealing backgrounds from other more popular anime shows or tracing.
is that a new Ultraman series or the same one that I used to watch 12+ years ago?
I didn't know Ultraman was anime...
Lol, people hate China without even having been there. Media is indeed powerful...
wtf? no chinese wants to destroy anime
and ultraman is anime? i thought anime were suposed to be animated ._.
Chinese anime sucks donkey balls but dont let china hear you say that because they'll pirate, replace and sensor you
well, "chinese anime" sucks, pretty much like almost every other country's (besides Japan). No other country puts as much time,effort and money into anime/cartoons.
uuuh. i think anime should be left for the Japanese to make. anyone else meddling in the industry is just bound to produce shit and embarrass themselves (especially china)
We need some perfected A.I. to lead people because humans tend to become corrupt individuals who only care about filling their own pockets with wealth and power.
Hopefully there's going to be better Chinese space opera/sci-fi anime. I prey they do something along that lines. Would be cool to see a Chinese take on a Galactic Empire...without me having to research all this shit myself....
Thats a pointless fight
When the human world have to see China's animation
Get a grip, China.
I hear panda bears make good living room rugs.
I completely agree with Persona. All china does is rip off Anime from Japan. The same goes for the US! Look at GIJOE and avatar. As a chinese myself, I have seen a lot of chinese anime, and they suck. Japanese Anime FTW!
I think everyone is just messed up. If you had the intelligence to look up information yourself on China's economy and their culture, you wouldn't be bashing them because of this stupid biased post. And why are you relying on a Japanese post??? (common sense tells you that DUH someone is trying to defame them). By the way, without China's production, you'd be on the streets by now from spending quality cash on products you use today. There's a reason why businesses all over go to China: BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE 90% of the world's products...Obviously these posts are mistranslated and has an intent to defame. Proves how much IQ are in those who bash right off their heads. Now obviously you will flame me, why? because you're in denial and protecting your pride.
THANK YOU!!! finally someone speaking some fucking sense
fuck you all chinese animation is much better then japans japans well japans anime is actually chinese it is japanese who cant make anime cause there anime cartoons are childish it is china that makes anime liek beyblade and naruto and ect for japan
LOL xenophobia rocks.
go Quebec!
do you think china would make anime like japans cause i like chian it is the second largest marketing country in the world so would you say yes or no because the bigger your country is the better your marketing so china someday will make anime right
LOL China
I know personally many Chinese that enjoys Japanese anime... so w/e
rust one day china will take over animation from japan like pokemon yugioh bakugan ect all aniem in japan will be chinese and i myself will see to it
I realize something..that is everytime this site has something to do with China, 99% percent of the chance that article is against it.
Also, any China related posts will bring up huge arguments, 100s of comments...lol
Quote"More extreme voices of support are also heard: “Kill Ultraman and all the other Japanese anime!”
I think you did it on purpose... as far as I'm concerned, most chaps in china don't hate Japanese anime, not even the parents. You just grab onto one or a small minority of the total population's idea,zoom on it, make it sounds like everyone in china believes in the same kind of bull****. that's really creative..really.
They say Chinese copy stuff, yeah sure looking back into history, most of the stuff Europe had was from china, they copied it, made it better, and after that they forgot where the f their cilvilization cames from.
lol, yeah sure the Olympic openning and ending was "Copied".
when middle east terriost post something online people will just laugh at it. but when Tibent
But past is past, it's gone, finished, there is no point to bring them back up.
btw I can't believe how much the westerners hate the chinese...it's a big joke to me tho, coz i find no reason why the f*** some of the dudes here wanna kill the chinese so bad.
Quote "I say we kill Chinese people."
Did they rape your mother? lol. Did they ate your dog? lol..
I mean, what's this unknown source of hatred? Who the hell told you everything you know about Chinese? News? TV talk show with some f***ed up guy who is racist in the first place? Or some "Creative group of people" uses the fun of Chinese in their ad? Come on, that's not good enough.
You wonder why Chinese anime sucks? Because the definition of animation in China is purely"Cartoon programs designed for low-aged groups, example 5-7 years old". That pretty much restricted any possible growth of the industry.
Anyway, my whole god damn point is, do not think that this "Bullshit talking Premier" really said that "We need to destroy Japanese Anime". All he's trying to say is that the chinese needs to develop its own cartoon and anime industry, nothing more or less.
Can't believe some people here acutally believed it"Kill the ULTRAMAN!!!!". Another funny joke, huh?

"Anyway, chinese will fall soon enough. A country can’t survive by exploiting to the extreme his people like they do. If they don’t adjust their economy and system soon enough, I predict China will fall. America is far ahead in a bright economical futur, when even thought they got some problem right now. But still, Obama is trying to bring back stability in world wide economy."
lol, it's like, this dude here has seen everything, what? you the oricle or something? Maybe you should go back to Matrix world, Neo is waiting for you there.
read, and comment with logic please.
Those so-called Haters,pretenders with national hatred, racial hatred, those things doesn't count in online environment..what can you do anyway by just pointing out that "I hate XXX", are you trying to be special like a grade 2? Sorry but you don't earn a merit for that. The same goes to self-haters. It doesn't make you special as a human being by discrinimate against your origin country.
As a Chinese-English fan-sub group member myself, I like Anime, infact I think it's one of the best form of entertainment. of course I would like to see some China made anime, since in recent years there seems to be a improved understanding in Anime and original creation.
Unfortunally you guys can't read some of the stuff on Chinese Anime-focused sites. They've got some wonderful original stories and mangas. Animation is still too hard for Doujin teams in china to start off with.
So yeah, there is still a long way ahead for Chinese Anime, but I'm sure under better environment they'll grow a lot faster.
PS: Stop hating each other and discuss some PROPER stuff.
I totally agree with you.
Chinese are always portrayed badly by all the media. It's just irritating, but I've got used to it... If they want to think that chinese are all evil, that's their problem.
Remember, chinese are more than 1,3M in their own country. The article only focus on 0,000001% peoples and make it a big deal. What the point? Maybe they need someone to bash for felling better.
There is no wrong to want to improve your own anime industry, I don't see anything bad from the premier minister. Contrary, I think he just want to motivate chinese industry for being more creative. That's a good things.
The article just made it sounds bad (really bad)... that's all.
PS: Sorry for my lack of english, I'm a french who haven't practice my english from a long time ago...
Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.
this goes the same with Korean-related articles too. seriously what is with this Artefact guy and his goons? are you too arrogant to see YOUR own flaws as well? just because you make SOME good points doesn't make you completely right. I BET you will respond with something I did noting of the sort I'm just providing they WANT I'm not biased or racist I'm signaling out and generalizing one person or a bunch of people to represent an entire group, race, nationality, etc. blah blah blahhhhh. but really is it something that the people NEED?
the most reasonable on this damn site.
hEhE GOT MILK?
