Perhaps I am asking out of ignorance, but why is it not possible to sell it anywhere else in the world - is the Chinese language spoken in Hong Kong different from any other in the world.

Some programme sales to Chinese communities in Malaysia, Singapore and the West Coast of the USA take place but they are small and not particularly profitable.
The language in Hong Kong is Cantonese?
WATT
Yes, some programmes are dubbed in Mandarin, which is a more universal language on a world basis.

Can I go back for a moment to the question of China. May I ask with whom you are associated in going into China or are you on your own?
VERNON
We are on our own. One of the members of our staff has studied Chinese for a number of years and is very fluent in the language and he is our means of contact in China but after using him we are on our own with the Chinese government instrumentality.
SCOTT
The point of my question is do you have any other close associations with any Hong Kong interests?
