Chinese Dramas Accelerate Global Reach
Chinese series are gaining momentum overseas. Hit suspense thrillers like The Bad Kids and ancient costume epics such as The Long Ballad are topping charts on Netflix, Viu, and other international platforms. Major streaming giants have sharply increased procurement of Chinese-language content, with multiple titles entering global Top 10 lists. Industry data shows overseas revenue for Chinese dramas surged over 50% year-on-year in 2024. From niche appeal to mainstream popularity, China’s cultural export of television content has officially entered a new high-speed phase, marking a significant milestone in soft-power projection.
