Chinese animation strikes a chord with young audiences

Once deemed overshadowed by foreign productions, Chinese animation is now experiencing a surge in popularity, especially among younger audiences.

With improved storytelling, advanced visual effects, and a seamless integration of traditional Chinese culture, the industry is rapidly gaining recognition at home and abroad.

A recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily among 7,232 university students revealed that 40.64 percent actively follow popular domestic animation films and series, while 30.35 percent check for new releases on a weekly basis.
