China Business News launchedPosted by Eric Mu on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 5:45 PM
Two years in the making, China Business News (diyi caijing ribao) published its debut issue yesterday. Jointly owned by Shanghai Media and Entertainment Group (which goes by the alarming acronym SMEG), Guangzhou Daily Group and Beijing Youth Daily Group, the newspaper's initial registered capital is RMB 100 million RMB, with total investment expected to reach 150 million. China Business News is published on each weekday. The paper will contain 24 pages, except for the friday issue which will have 36 pages. Price: 1 yuan. Sections includes finance, economic policies, industry news and special supplements. This is the vision statement in its opening editorial letter: To be the most influential, authoritative and respected financial daily newspaper in China, matching the future of Chinese economic development, and equivalent to world-class papers like the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times. Hmm. Might want to start with a slightly less derivative design. |

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.
