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.

Comments on Shanghai Beat: Neo Shanghai
having fun and having the chance to know real china and chinese people here!
seem that I were the first. I like Neocha too. always go to check whats new there:)
thanks adam/ginger for another piece of great video...pls keep up the good work coz we do need more people to get their hands dirty to show people the real china..i totally see "Shanghai Beat" a potentially most substantial show in the coming days.
nice piece but be sure to use a better microphone for the interview next time, as the low sound quality is a turn-off
The irony is, I found the armature journalists from the west are doing a lot better job on reporting China than those so called professionals on high pay by cnn, bbc,, nyt, washingtonpost...
As Andrew commented already, audibility of the interview is horrible, and it was only made worse by the background (actually foreground) music. It's a pity, I was most interested in the subject but I couldn't hear much.
Keep the high content quality but improve technical quality.
