"China on the Way"Posted by Joel Martinsen, January 24, 2011 12:15 PM
This 17-minute-long "national image film" features a string of uplifting facts and inspiring pronouncements about modern-day China: "Chinese people have never cherished their cultural heritage more than today, nor felt more its lingering charm, which is why, after so many generations, we are still here." Internet users have been complaining about the cost, length, and content of the sixty-second video now showing in New York City's Times Square (see the Ministry of Tofu). This video is certainly longer.

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.
