Has anyone else noticed how on CCTV News: Africa Today they keep mentioning about commenting and catching up on social media that is unavailable in China.
There is also a regular scrolling text along the bottom of the screen advertising their YouTube channel and Twitter/Facebook pages.
Are they sadists?

double standards again !!!
we get the same programs off our satellite as you do
It's all about discursive power.
Imagine if CCTV keeps mentioning "please visit www.echinacities.com for real and detailed information, personal experience and perspectives in China".
Or they let the 100 million Chinese people who live on less than 1 US dollar one person a day, which by UN definition is "absolute poverty", have Facebook ,youtube and twitter to display their life to the world, and tell not only Africa but also EU and America what they want to say.
Is China rich? Prosperous? Promising? Getting stronger? Becoming a threat?
8/10.....I havent' seen this but I do believe you that it did happen. Maybe one day I'll see what exactly you are talking about. Do you have a link?
The Africa Today program is on every weekday at around 6pm on CCTV's English channel.
If you catch it tomorrow I'm sure it will show the same information.
Quite bizarre!
It's because CCTV is also aired in "another country".
