Chart 1 is a tree map which contains both the total money amount and the regions of imported and exported TV programs from 2008 to 2015.From chart 1 we can see that trade deficit exist on TV program, the import amount is more than as twice as the export. Most of the imported TV programs are from Asia, followed by America, South America and Europe.

From Chart 2 we can see that TV programs from and to Asia tops among 6 areas. And the import amount of Asia is 317,550,000, as almost 3 times as its export, 87,025. TV program from Africa and the Oceania is far more less than other areas.

Chart 3 shows that during all kinds of imported TV programs, TV series takes up the biggest part, and the document occupies the least. Among them, the TV series from Korea tops up, followed by TV series and animation from Japan.

The Chart 4 shows that it is Britain but not America that has been a big copyright-export country to China, and year 2010 has witnessed a boom in copyright import of China.

Chart 5 has illustrates that during 2008-2015, Asia has been the biggest continent we exported our TV programs, and Oceania is the least, which could due to the proximity of culture among Asia countries. Our strongest form of TV program is TV series. Not until 2011 did our documentary, the most objective way for people from other countries to learn about China, steps into international market.

In conclusion, China still has a big trade deficit in TV program trades to other countries. If we want to improve our international influence and attract more focus on us, improving the quality of our culture product and export them would be a pretty choice.
