The Bona International Film Group will implement a self-rating system for films shown at its cinemas, most likely to be launched in mid-February, Beijing Daily reported.

The lack of a nationwide film rating system has been a centerpiece of criticism for many years in China. There is also consensus that certain adult content in films may be unsuitable for children.

Bona said its rating system is not necessarily intended to bar minors from partial nudity or violence in the films, but provide guidance, adding that the elderly also benefit from the system.

據《北京日報》報道，博納影業集團表示，下屬院線將自行推行電影分級制度，或許從2月中旬開始實行。

我國缺少全國性的電影分級體系，多年以來一直是批評的焦點。此前有共識認為，電影中的一些成人內容不適合兒童觀看。

博納說自己的分級制度不是刻意在讓未成年人遠離電影中的裸露或暴力場景，而是提供一種指導，并表示老年人其實也會從分級制度中獲益。
