fascinating There is at this time quite a lot of information around this theme around and about on the net and some are for the most part superior than others. You have caught the detail here just right which makes for a uplifting change – thanks.

@Daiweisi,
Why ‘sympathetic’? Where else could someone anchor the national news (be it on CCTV 9 and watched by no one) without spending ten years in a local station first?

What I feel most sympathetic to is the attempt by amateurs like James Chao, Annie Fu and others in an attempt to build a career of credibility which all worldwide broadcasters need to expound on the propaganda of the CCP.

God I can’t believe anyone would watch CCTV-9. Poor English commentators such as Liang Hong and worst everything is censored. A commentator will front a super foggy background and tell you how wonderful the environment is. What shit! Do they think we are Chinese and have no education about the world about us????

@henning,
That’s way cool! A boomerang effect. I think charging for European leagues will cause a revolt in China since there are more soccer fans than Communists.

Here in Germany, CCTV is quite popular – among soccer aficionados. On CCTV (via web) you can follow games that otherwise only run on Pay TV.

That leads to another, more interesting question: Isn’t the business model “TV station” already of declining attractiveness? When I can access all the content I want via the net and usually directly from the source? I myself haven’t watched TV for quite a while now. I sometimes rent DVDs, the rest comes straight from the web.

@puerhan,
Your point about the tacit understanding that people have is spot-on. But some might argue that that is precisely the great tragedy because most people withdraw from what would move a society forward. It was interesting to watch CNN and MSNBC’s reports during the 20th anni*** of the T*M movement. When asked if they are still hopeful of substantial change to the system, the Chinese who actively took part in it all said as incremental as it is, change has come and will eventually take root in China.
