加强文艺工作者教育管理和道德建设

Chinese authorities on Monday issued a circular urging further management and education for artistic performers across the country.

文化和旅游部8月30日印发通知，要求进一步加强文艺工作者教育管理和道德建设。

Noting several problems, including tax evasion, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism stressed artistic performers should strengthen their legal awareness. Artistic performers should be educated in terms of laws on copyright and tax, and the commercial events of artistic performers, especially those serving in public institutions, should be brought under strict management, the document read, noting performers involved in illegal or unethical activities should be shunned from the industry.
针对文娱领域出现的偷逃税等现象，通知要求，文艺工作者要提高法律意识，加强对著作权法、税法等重点法律法规的学习。从严管理演职人员商业活动，特别是要从严审批公职演职人员在所属单位外开展个人商业活动。决不为违法违规、失德失范人员提供舞台和平台。

The document continued, stating a review and assessment mechanism for performers' morality should be established and improved, and artists and performers should be constantly reminded to respect rules and moral standards.
建立健全道德评议机制，时刻督促提醒文艺工作者敬畏纪律规矩、严守道德底线。
