Culture and tourism administrative departments around China will once again be accepting and approving commercial performances from overseas, starting from March 20, according to the latest notice from China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, aiming to revive the country's performing art market after the pandemic.
Overseas commercial performances have been absent from Chinese stages for over three years due to the pandemic. China downgraded the COVID-19 management from Class A to Class B in January, and the limitations on international travel were abolished gradually.
Starting from Feb 16, the applications for commercial performances involving people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have been resumed.
