"We want to give you full access to every cabled TV in the USA, but in order for it to be legal, you have to let us broadcast, in English, somewhere in China. It does not need to be a big area..."

So a small part of a small province near Hong Kong gets "Friends" reruns and the USA gets news and enlightening cultural information.

Way back when Clinton was president, he said opening trade with China will make them more like us, but looking at Chinese history, they have mostly assimilated every invader. I thought it much more likely that we would become more Chinese.

Now they can broadcast their culture to us, and it probably will be packaged and produced by American producers and won't even look Chinese after the first year or two. Think they will teach us about forced pregnancy tests and abortions?

Just as an aside, in Earth in the Balance Algor said he wanted to reduce the world population and control who breeds, how Chinese of him!

Thanks for the other link, 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub.

lol, yep DBrow. They get friends, we get a Peoples Republic of China state run broadcast from CCTV. Hey, we can even get a preview of this hard hitting propoganda machine:

China Central Television (CCTV)
