Is it allowed to host virtual concerts in China without content pre-approval?

Last updated on October 3, 2025

No, hosting virtual concerts in China requires prior content approval from the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA). As of 2023, all online performances — including metaverse-based concerts — must undergo review to ensure alignment with cultural values and avoid politically sensitive or vulgar content. Platforms must submit scripts, visuals, and performer details before broadcasting. Violations may result in takedowns or fines.
