Overview
For decades, the image of Asian comics has been dominated by Japanese manga, the characters of which are known across the globe. Attempts by various countries to create their own similar IP has resulted in little more than derivative products. However, a new generation of Chinese comic artists now seeks innovation over imitation: They use distinct visual techniques to create a worldwide Chinese cultural industry, while still respecting its rules on media. In this episode, we introduce the artists who attempt to convey the values of China to the world.
