China Wants to Control Cosplay Culture

Is China really trying to regulate cosplay? In this video, we explore the growing concerns about government control over cosplay culture, fan expression, and public events. From proposed morality laws to restrictions on clothing, online content, and convention behavior, we examine how China’s policies are shaping the future of cosplay communities across the country.

We also look at how these rules affect cosplayers, photographers, anime fans, and creators, as well as how China’s stance differs from Japan’s more flexible approach. With rising censorship, crackdowns on “immoral” content, and increased surveillance of fan culture, cosplay in China is becoming a hot topic in the global anime community.

If you want to understand the intersection of politics, fandom, fashion, and freedom of expression, this video breaks down everything happening behind the scenes.
