If you have, do you think it's reality based?
Have you been to any of the places they profile?
FYI, today's episode is on Karamay, in north west Xinjiang, as part of their ongoing coverage of Xinjiang. That's where I live.
It'll be repeated again at 5.30 this afternoon.
This televised focus on Xinjiang comes at the same time that they've blocked all foreign email in the province as part of their local 'war on terror' campaign.
Coincidence???
The times I've seen it, I think I'd compare it to those think tourist guides with "Top 10 things to do in X"
Some of the things I've seen where small villages, people doing traditional stuff, and you just know that they picture may show nice idyllic scenery, but right behind it is a concrete hell that is "everywhere in China"
