Abstract
This paper focuses on the development of cultural and
creative industries in China. The concept of this
industry is much later origin than in the Western
countries, but it has raised high attention from the
central government recently. It developed very rapidly
during past decade when China is experiencing the economy
transition from 'manufacturing' to 'services'. Our study
aims to distinguish China's specific concepts and
characteristics, to learn current situational factors and
drivers, and to target the challenges and future trend of
cultural and creative industries in China. In addition to
the established Western literature, we utilize a number
of studies, including literature and documentary
materials in both English and Chinese, carried out by
Chinese scholars. Our empirical study is mainly based on
the experience of a Western 3D company which is actively
looking for business opportunities in the cultural and
creative industries in China. This experience has been
illustrated through interviews in the company and among
its partners and potential clients.
