+ 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 Kim Jong Il's son sighted in Beijing - photos
I'm not sure I would classify Fox News as Western "press". Keith Oberman at MSNBC constantly addresses it as the "Fox Noise Channel". Ha! It's not much better than many of the Chinese official mouthpieces when it comes to propagnada.
uh i think kim is a crazy guy and someone should do something about him and his nuclear power
