Talk:Grand External Propaganda Strategy

This article is for real, not a hoax, and I am still in the process of writing the article. Arilang ^talk 06:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

450 billion of what? $$? Where this number comes from (source)? Biophys (talk) 05:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

450 billion RMB, which is Chinese Yan. Arilang ^talk 06:20, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Any English language source or translation, please? Biophys (talk) 16:29, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, it is 45 billions Yuan, not 450 billions Yuan.

"In early 2009 Beijing announced that it would invest a further phenomenal 45 billion yuan into its main media outlets to strengthen their international news coverage and global presence. As part of this, Xinhua News Service will increase their overseas bureaus from 100 to 186, almost enough to have one in every country in the world. The Global Times, an extremely popular People’s Daily-owned tabloid with a strong international focus, will soon set up an English language edition. And CCTV-9 will set up Arabic and Russian language services."

Thank you. This looks like a good RS to me. But this article should be renamed to something more reasonable, like Chinese foreign propaganda ("liyong waili wei wo xuanchuan") Biophys (talk) 03:49, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The propaganda issue can be addressed at Propaganda in the People's Republic of China--PCPP (talk) 10:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Which rises the question if this article was needed. I simply do not know this subject well enough.Biophys (talk) 15:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
