media - Forgetting about China a bit

One of the good things of staying outside China every now and then is the discovery that there are other things too that might at some stage even be more important. Last night I was glued to the traditional TV-screen as the BBC hosted a major discussion on the way the UK is dealing with terrorism. A fascinating discussion with police chief Ian Blair who is doing an excellent job in explaning to the public what is happening. And of course the official end of hostilities in Ireland by the IRA, so much part of my past as a journalist. Yes, China has rightfully dropped on the media agenda this week.
