The Top 10 of China's most favorite "home-made"cartoons were announced on
November 6 at the conclusion of the First Summit Forum on the China
Animation Industry's Development and Youth's Healthy Growing. The ten
cartoons include Century Sonny, Tortoise Hanba's Stories, Black Cat
Detective, SkyEye, Lao Mountain Taoist, Nezha Conquers the Dragon King,
Wanderings Of Sanmao, Zhang Ga the Soldier Boy, The Blue Mouse and the
Big-Faced Cat and 3000 Whys of Blue Cat. They were voted on by nearly
300,000 netizens since the poll began on September 21. In total 178
China-produced cartoons were nominated.

The first summit forum was held in Qingdao, Shandong Province from
November 4 to 5, sponsored by the Central Committee of the Communist
Youth League of China, the Information Office of the State Council, the
Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Security,
Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Information Industry,
General Administration of Press and Publication, the State Administration
of Radio, Film and Television, the State General Administration of Sport,
Care-About-Next-Generation Committee and Qingdao municipal government and
organized by China Youth Association For Network Development.

Several cartoonists from the United States, Japan, South Korea, France
and China's Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, along with youth and cultural
organizations and representatives from animation enterprises attended the
event.

Lu Yongzheng, a member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China
Central Committee, stressed at the opening ceremony on November 3 that
people in the industry should present healthy animation productions to
teenagers and asked people to create a healthy cyberspace for Chinese
youth. A joint manifesto on the industry's development and youngsters
growing up in a healthy way was released later. Shadow puppet plays and
cartoon art exhibitions were also held during the two-day event.

Experts who participated in the summit explained that among cartoon
readers 11 percent were under 13, 59 percent between 14 to 17 year-olds
and 30 percent were over 18. They estimated there were 500 million people
who could be identified as cartoon consumers. However, according to the
research, among Chinese youngsters only 11 percent said their favorite
cartoons were "home-made" (including those produced in Hong Kong and
Taiwan), 60 percent were from Japan while 29 percent from the United
States and Europe.
