A day after the World Trade Organization rejected China's appeal of a ruling rejecting its restriction of movie imports, director James Cameron told reporters in Beijing that China doesn't need such restrictions. What's more, he argued, doing away with those restrictions could actually benefit Chinese filmmakers. Arriving in the Chinese capital to promote the opening of Avatar on January 2 (the opening was delayed because the Chinese quota on foreign films had already been reached for 2009), Cameron told reporters, "By opening the doors in China to other filmmakers, it will raise the entire film industry in China. ... There will be more seats, more cinemas, more excitement about the cinema-going experience, which will also raise the Chinese filmmakers' ability to play their films." Meanwhile, MPAA Executive V.P. Greg Frazier told the Wall Street Journal Tuesday that his group will begin talks with China early next year to wok out a compliance schedule.
