Chinese television dramas (Chinese: 中国电视连续剧; pinyin: Zhōngguó diànshì liánxùjù), sometimes colloquially known as C-dramas, are Chinese-language television drama series originating from mainland China, sometimes including co-productions with the Greater China region. Popular drama series genres in mainland China include fantasy romance, period costume, contemporary urban and thriller dramas.[1][2] These dramas are also subjected to stringent regulatory supervision from the Chinese government.[3]
China produces the most television drama episodes per year and has the largest number of domestic television viewers in the world.[4][5] It is also the second largest video streaming market in the world by revenue.[6] Chinese television dramas are regularly broadcast and streamed throughout Asia; particularly in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Cambodia.[7][8][9][10][11]
