Modern China - live Q and A program broadcast from Shanghei

[Warrigal]

We have a weekly TV program where a panel of politicians and other public figures are presented with questions from the audience and from viewers. It is always live to air.

Last night this program was broadcast from Shanghai, China and the questions and answers were remarkably frank.
If anyone is interested in listening to the voices of some interesting Chinese people tune in to iView on our ABC.

The guest panelists are

Dr Geoff Raby - Former Ambassador to China
Mei Yan - Businesswoman and media executive
Ma Tianjie - Program Director, Greenpeace East Asia
Cheng Lei - Television Presenter
Guo Jian - Chinese Australian artist​

Tried viewing that but I get a message saying it's not viewable outside Australia...shame!!

 

[Warrigal]

Sorry about that. It was very interesting.

I'll see if there is a transcript available but I don't think there will be.
It's usually only radio programs that give a transcript.

Good news -there will be a transcript available later today (in about 8 hours) on this link http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3962636.htm

There's also a download link that might work download episode (mp4, 200 MB)

Later in the program the discussion on censorship, press freedom and the great firewall of China proved very interesting.
