New rules ban the use of footage acquired from foreign satellite TV and other channels that are not state-run.
Stations have been told they should only use news reports provided by the state-run China Central Television and China Radio International.
The rules also say that historical soap operas involving "major or sensitive" issues must get official approval.
Taboo issues for TV drama include political, military and religious themes.
A notice issued by the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) on 10 April also demands that local government offices overseeing TV drama productions submit monthly reports to ensure the shows stick to pre-approved scripts.
