The first TV Channel of China will open on Feb. 8 in Russia to
give the audiences in the Russian language region a full-scale
guide to China, Chinese ambassador in Russia said here on
Wednesday.
"The Channel of China is a new born in Sino-Russian relations,
another fruit bred from the theme years, and an example of Russia's
'China fever,'" Liu Guchang said at the introduction ceremony held
at the embassy.
The channel will focus on news about Sino-Russian relations, how
to do business in China, programs teaching the Chinese language,
series on China's art, culture, history, places of interest, and
also well-chosen Chinese movies, teleplays, and cartoons. There
will also be talk shows on hot issues discussing problems emerged
during Sino-Russian exchanges.
"I hope and believe that this channel will engender positive
effects on enhancing mutual understanding, trust and friendship of
the peoples, promoting practical cooperation in many areas and
pushing the sound and continuous development of Sino-Russian
relations," Liu said.
When the channel is completed, all residents in the Commonwealth
of Independent States and the Balkan countries will receive the
programs.
