Shanghai China Snippets Observations about living in Shanghai and China in general

A new talk show “The Mask”, set to be launched Jan. 1 next
year, has received the red light by China’s TV regulator (SARFT). The China Daily reports
that the show was going to be a half-hour program about “issues in
common Chinese people’s daily sex lives with experts on hand to offer
advice”. According to a new SARFT circular TV stations “need to produce
talk shows talking topics about major issues in China’s political and
economic life and basic interests of people”. Am I missing
something here or are my basic interests different from the rest of the
world.
