Now what would be interesting to know is do these relay deals make any
difference in the editorial content of the relayed broadcasts and
maybe even other broadcasts.

Any western program material allowed in China is very carefully scrutinized
for content.
It is heavily monitored and censored. Providers risk losing access if they
don't comply
the CPC rules.

This also extends into the book publishing business as at least one well
known TV program
provider is also in the book publishing business. The Communist Party in
China has so
much clout with these morally corrupt publishers that the CPC can snap their
fingers and
the publisher will refuse to publish a book IN THE U.S. of A if it happens
to offend the CPC.

These are FACTS!
