I don't know how they did it -- who they lobbied or who they threatened to make fun of -- but China's cartoonists have been awarded a huge tax break. According to a story on IFeng, the income taxes for cartoon animationists have been dropped to just 3%. This seems like better tax treatment than the hi-tech seven "strategic emerging industries" -- environmental protection, info tech, biotech, new energy, new materials, new energy vehicles, and advanced equipment manufacturing. Finally, industrial policy directed where funds are needed most.
