The government at all levels should further improve their policies and build up a mechanism that help foster a group of enterprises with great competitiveness, Li stressed.
The cartoon companies should make full use of the new technologies to develop cartoon and animation games for mobile devices which have seen great market potential, he added.
With the flooding of western cartoon products in the Chinese market, China's domestic animation industry has posted deficit since the 1980s.
The Chinese government has made an annual investment of 200 million yuan into the cartoon industry since 2006 to boost original animation creation and development of domestic companies.
He also encouraged domestic enterprises to explore overseas animation market and participate in international competition so as to enhance the influence of the Chinese animation and cartoon industry.
The exhibition is being held from Oct. 26 to Nov. 18 at the China Arts Gallery with 312 pieces of animation and cartoon arts works.
