The core of the "Measures" establishes a classification and grading management mechanism.

In addition, the "Measures" stipulate that for micro-short dramas generated and produced using artificial intelligence technology, the production institutions and broadcasting units shall abide by relevant national regulations and add reminder signs in prominent locations in each episode in accordance with relevant regulations.
