Q: CCTV News, "watch us on YouTube or catch up on Facebook and Twitter". WTF?

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?

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?

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".

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
