China is celebrating 120 years of cinema, from its first silent film Dingjun Mountain in 1905 to global blockbusters like Ne Zha 2, now the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Blending advanced technology with rich cultural heritage, China’s film industry is producing visually stunning works that resonate worldwide. President Xi Jinping urged filmmakers to create more culturally meaningful stories that reflect the spirit of the times. Powered by cutting-edge tools like AI, 3D printing, and motion capture, recent hits such as The Wandering Earth 2 and Creation of the Gods showcase China’s growing influence in global cinema. With over 1 billion cinema visits in 2024 and box office revenues exceeding 30 billion yuan by mid-2025, China has become the world’s second-largest film market and a rising cultural force in the global film industry.
