"China will legislate on broadcasting and television," said Cai Fuchao, director general of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT).
"We should reinforce our sense of law, form a rule of law thinking, and improve our ability to rule according to law," said Cai on Friday.
A strict and effective law-making mechanism will be adopted during the legislation, Cai said, which means the law will be made with the combined effort of public participation, expert risk evaluation, and the committee's discussion.
He said it is of vital importance to make such a law because it is essential to maintain the socialist ideology, Internet governance, and development of respective industries.
"To make full use of the existing laws to solve problems, and if necessary, learn about relative laws to enhance their problem-solving capabilities," said Cai. He urged his subordinates to be more law conscious. He suggested that to fulfill one's responsibility as a government worker, one should govern according to law.
The SAPPRFT will also coordinate with other departments to make improvements on the legislation to better promote film industry, said Cai. In addition, the Copyright Law and its related laws and regulations will be repealed, reformed and reestablished.
