Advantages of Chinese Series
There are many reasons why Chinese series are getting so popular, especially in recent times. The Chinese entertainment industry has many advantages that are considered comparative rather than competitive. The Chinese series is unlike the Korean series, which are in the topmost in the list of the popularity of web series, as the advantages of the Korean series are competitive. There is a significant difference between these two advantages, namely competitive and comparative. The Chinese series are growing popular overseas. The themes range from political to historical and to romance showing a wide variety of tastes and covering a wide range of topics.
What are the Different types of Advantages?
The difference between the comparative and competitive advantages is evident. The competitive advantages are not long-lasting. Its importance and value get reduced with time and with changing taste of viewers. Several factors are responsible for this reduction of worth and lesser number of viewership, which may happen due to the quality of the series getting lowered. Another reason may be the fact that people are developing new tastes every time. The series that was famous a decade or even a few years back might not appeal to a large audience anymore because of its repetitive theme, monotonous dialogues, similar characterization, etc.
But the advantages of the Chinese series that are comparative are considered permanent. They will stay for a long time, unlike the competitive advantages. It is because when they are made at a particular point in time, they neither appeal to the intellect of a large number of audiences nor stir their emotions to the extent that they should. It may be because the Chinese series is experimental, unlike the themes of the Korean series, which are repetitive. The themes of the Chinese series differ from one another and include variety. Sometimes, audience cannot adapt to anything other than what they see for a considerable period. They do not get the essence of a theme immediately. But they realize it after a certain period in the future.
The Entertainment Industry of China

It indicates that if any entertainment industry wants to rule the Asian entertainment market, they have to favor Chinese viewership. It is one of the most precious advantages the Chinese people have as they have utmost knowledge about their market. The Chinese entertainment industry has been funded well, and they have more resources than any other entertainment industry.
