Cardboard news
I guess you could call this “news” but it’s basically just a rehash of whatever the Pooh wants people to hear, minus any expert commentary that might disagree with the official line. It’s kind of boring and is mostly a roundup of economic news with interviews from businesspeople or government officials. Pretty much the same as CCTV. Has a very “nothing to see here folks, move along” feel to it.
A window to know more about China
it is a great way to know what happened in China. And what Chinese people really want to let the world know about them
A Media Alternative
It is good to have an alternative to standard Western media.
