LOS ANGELES—China’s film market is one of the most restrictive in the world, though negotiations this month at the World Trade Organization (WTO) could open it up slightly.
China previously avoided facing a WTO complaint against its restrictive film market by raising the quota of foreign films that can be screened from 20 to 34 in a deal with the WTO in 2012. That deal expires this month and must be renegotiated.
