Organizers: Sasakawa Peace Foundation/Japan China Entertainment Economic Forums
Co-Organizers: Waseda Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies (WIAPS), Research Group on Contemporary Chinese Independent Film/Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies (GSAPS)

The Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) and Japan China Entertainment Economic Forums (JCEE) are set to host a public symposium focusing on the entertainment and creative industries in China.  Japan’s films, animations, games, and intellectual properties (IPs) have consistently been popular in China. Traditionally, there has been a significant flow of cultural products from Japan to China in the entertainment sector, with relatively limited influence in the opposite direction. However, in recent years, Chinese animations, games, and IPs have gained increasing popularity in Japan.

Furthermore, during the Japan-China High-Level People-to-People and Cultural Exchange Dialogue in December 2024, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to enhancing exchanges through creative-industry content.

This symposium aims to reassess the current state of Japan-China cultural exchange in the entertainment sector by examining the latest developments in China and the current status of entertainment exchanges between the two countries, while also exploring future prospects.

The symposium will cover topics such as the history of ACG (Animation, Comics, and Games) culture in China, investment trends in the entertainment sector, as well as discussions on games and films.

We hope that through this symposium, we can gain new insights into the evolving Japan-China relationship through the lens of the entertainment industry.

*Talks will be in Japanese, but Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
