On Point, the live news talk show on NPR, broadcast live from Shanghai last week.
This episode is well worth a listen.
Hosted by Tom Ashbrook, it features an impassioned Yang Rui (the CCTV host), Hong Kong journalist Willy Lo-Lap Lam, and Shanghai correspondent for The Wall Street Journal James Areddy.
They talk about the anti-CNN movement, Jack Cafferty, Tibet, Chinese nationalism etc. The show includes a funny soundbite from the Dalai Lama, and a scary-sounding caller from Iowa. There’s also a soundbite from U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley saying that it would be a “cop-out” for countries to skip the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics.
