      abstract = {This unique film examines the battle raging to control  China's airwaves. Working with a government that allows  nothing of social or political import to be broadcast,  entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia  bring their full complement of consumerism and mindless  entertainment to the millions or Chinese greedy for a  glimpse of the outside world.Prof. Leonard Chu of Hong Kong  Baptist University sees the arrival of television to the  villages of China as a positive development, even with its  limited programming. He applauds the new openness,  providing a "window on the world." On the other hand, we  hear from the director of Shanghai Communications whose  only interest is in selling. He sees television solely as a  tool for promoting Chinese products in their developing  market. Gary Darcy, CEO of Murdoch's Star Network describes  how BBC News was cancelled from the schedule because the  Chinese government would never allow a newscast from  abroad.Dr. Geremie Barme, a widely respected observer of  Chinese society says, "Chinese television is a negation of  the social contract which provided free educations,  pensions, and social services to the people and peasants.  Instead, the self sacrificing citizen of the past is being  turned into a consumer.".},
