Chart 3 shows that during all kinds of imported TV programs, TV series takes up the biggest part, and the document occupies the least. Among them, the TV series from Korea tops up, followed by TV series and animation from Japan.

The Chart 4 shows that it is Britain but not America that has been a big copyright-export country to China, and year 2010 has witnessed a boom in copyright import of China.

Chart 5 has illustrates that during 2008-2015, Asia has been the biggest continent we exported our TV programs, and Oceania is the least, which could due to the proximity of culture among Asia countries. Our strongest form of TV program is TV series. Not until 2011 did our documentary, the most objective way for people from other countries to learn about China, steps into international market.
