For those displeased by what they saw as NZ’s kowtowing to Hollywood studio demands in the wake of the 2010 Hobbit dispute, the announcements made in Los Angeles at the end of Chinese vice-president Xi Jinping’s US visit probably make entertaining reading.
Two major announcements were made, one flagged in some detail in advance (the DreamWorks deal), one rumoured but not necessarily expected (the 20-foreign film quota).
