BEIJING, April 25 -- Chinese lawmakers are reviewing a draft law to improve the country's cultural services.
The draft, tabled for a first reading at the bi-monthly session of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, says public cultural service must be people-oriented and "guided by socialist core values."
Local governments must step up construction and management of community cultural service centers, and offer more digitalized cultural products online.
Authorities should focus their work on revolutionary bases, ethnic and border regions, impoverished areas and on special groups such as minors, the elderly, the disabled and migrants.
Private funds are invited to finance public cultural facilities, it said.
