Comments on China Businesscast: Interview with Lenovo

thanks for the initiative

to keep it short and focused on one specific topic will be more effective to deliver the message, you might need a little more editing to keep the essence and filter the redundancy

Thank you for the constructive feedback. The interview could have been streamlined to clarify a governing thought and provide a more focused structure. Editing and clearer replies to the well posed questions would have also strengthened the interview. Please kindly acknowledge that this is the benefit and weakness of rapid adhoc, guerilla style reporting. Look forward to participating in the future to Danwei.org's valuable knowledge exchange.

guerilla style reporting? what's that? sounds to me like an excuse for an unprofessional presentation. sort it out and you may get some listeners.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas.
+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
