media - A canned story for new Western journalists
A hilarious template (thanks for the tip, Danwei) for Western journalists in China who just arrived and have to clue, by Kaiser Kuo. "____ Comes to China": you only have to fill in the blanks.
"Ten years ago, who would have believed they'd have ______ in China?" says (FOREIGN NAME), a long-time Beijing expatriate who has lived in China for almost two years and has witnessed much of the dizzying change. "All the Chinese people I know - my ayi, my driver and my secretary - are already talking about it." ______-related ads are now commonplace on city subways, but they hardly even merit a second glance from jaded Beijingers, who drink Coca-Cola and send one another messages on their cell phones using an advanced technology called 'SMS,' for Short Messaging System."
Another chapter in framing the China story.
