Why are there so many VCD titles available in China but not videos?
Since the first VCD player was introduced in China in 1993, China has become the leader of VCD production and sales in the world. By the end of 1998 there were 50 million VCD players in Chinese households. In contrast, very few Chinese households have video players. Therefore you can now understand why it is so difficult to find videos in China. However, there are thousands VCD titles of Chinese, including children’s and educational programs, as well as foreign movies available in China. VCD has become one of the most popular cultural and educational resources in China.
