No sex, No violence, No news
Television is central to the Chinese government's strategy of modernising China in the 1990s on its own terms. Only 2% of China's households have telephones but 80% have television sets. Entrepreneurs from Hong Kong and the West negotiate with bureaucrats to bring entertainment to the masses. The entrepreneurs tread carefully, applying strict self censorship ('no sex, no violence, no news') to programs beamed to the Mainland. This program is a report on the state of play in the process of bringing officially sanctioned Hollywood-style fantasy to the Chinese masses.

- "Concentrating on television in Shanghai, using interviews with cable television executives and Shanghai consumers, and footage from Shanghai television, the production examines programming for Chinese television and television censhorship in China. It particularly concentrates on how the executives practice self-censorship as they attempt to find and create programming without offensive sexual, violent, or news content."@en

- "This unique film examines the battle raging to control China's airwaves. Working with a government that allows nothing of social or political import to be broadcast, entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia bring their full complement of consumerism and mindless entertainment to the millions or Chinese greedy for a glimpse of the outside world. Prof. Leonard Chu of Hong Kong Baptist University sees the arrival of television to the villages of China as a positive development, even with its limited programming. He applauds the new openness, providing a "window on the world." On the other hand, we hear from the director of Shanghai Communications whose only interest is in selling. He sees television solely as a tool for promoting Chinese products in their developing market. Gary Darcy, CEO of Murdoch's Star Network describes how BBC News was cancelled from the schedule because the Chinese government would never allow a newscast from abroad. Dr. Geremie Barme, a widely respected observer of Chinese society says, "Chinese television is a negation of the social contract which provided free educations, pensions, and social services to the people and peasants. Instead, the self sacrificing citizen of the past is being turned into a consumer.""@en
