  ABSTRACT: In order to fulfill mandatory obligations under the Marrakesh Treaty, China has formulated the Provisional Regulations for Making Works Available to Persons with Print Disabilities in Accessible Formats, which provide a high standard of protection for visually impaired persons. The Provisional Regulations for Making Works Available to Persons with Print Disabilities in Accessible Formats expand the beneficiaries from the blind to the visually impaired persons, expand Braille works to accessible formats, increase the right of visually impaired persons to make fair use of works, stipulate that the authorized entity is the subject of fair use, and add exceptions to the protection of accessible formats to circumvent technical measures. In the future, China may introduce commercial accessibility clause and refine the cross-border exchange of accessible format copies at an appropriate time, in order to further improve the fair use for the visually impaired.
