Never has the attraction of being a media producer, an artist, or adesigner in China been so enticing. National and regionalgovernments offer financial incentives; consumption of culturalgoods and services have increased; creative workers from Europe,North America and Asia are moving to Chinese cities; culture isincreasingly positioned as a pillar industry.
