Six companies from Xiamen made the list of major exporters of cultural products for 2015–2016, according to a joint announcement from the Commerce Department, Culture Department, and State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
The six cultural companies are Xiamen International Book Company, and five online game companies, namely, 4399.com, Dahei.com, XMNIU.com, Leiting.com and Xiamen Youli Information Technology.
The biennial list was first compiled in 2009 by the central government to support China's cultural industry to compete in global markets. Since then, 17 Xiamen enterprises have been included in the lists.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
Forty-one new port-of-entry duty-free shops have been established nationwide, with Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport, Xiamen Wutong Passenger Wharf, and Xiamen International Cruise Center included on the list.
