NEW TV PROGRAMME TO SPOTLIGHT CHINESE PRESS COMMENT
*
A new television programme has been launched to keep people
who don't read Chinese in touch with the main talking points in the
Chinese newspapers.
Produced by the Radio Hong Kong Television unit, the prograzne
is being shown in the "Viewpoint" series at 7.30 p.m. every Wednesday
on the English channels of RTV and TVB.
The script is prepared from editorial comments which appear in the
Chinese newspapers.
A government spokesman commented: "We feel there is a great
need to keep the non-Chinese reader informed of the wide range of comment
on topical issues which appear in the Chinese press.
"More than 60 Chinese language newspapers are published daily
in Hong Kong, covering most shades of political opinion. It is obviously
desirable that people who don't read the language should know what these
papers are saying on major matters of public interest.
"As there is such a large number we cannot review them all
individually, but what we can do is look at topics which attract most
attention and summarise Press reaction.
"We hope that people will find the new programme an informative
and useful guide to Chinese Press comment." T
