This is announcement from BON TV, a news station broadcast in parts of the U.S. and on the Internet, produced in Beijing.
BON TV is launching a debate show. The debate will be between two people and in English language. Each debate is 30 minutes and will be on air weekly. It is pre-recorded at International Metro Center of Chaoyang District. We’ve listed topics that we believe will interest our US viewers. Please send email to liuyu@bonlive.com ASAP to let us know which topic you are interested in appearing as a guest debater and which side you’d like to take. It’s going to be fun!
You are welcome to also suggest topics for debates. Thanks!
