Discovery had a 4-day series called Koppel: People’s Republic of Capitalism. I missed the first two episodes, and am hoping they will do a rerun. Then, USA (i think) has Beyond Beijing; documentary about the six Olympic Cities besides Beijing.
These two series cannot be any more different. Koppel’s is the typical US-centric view: talking about auto makers and their threats, corruption, challenging (though cautiously) human right issues. Beyond Beijing, on the other hand, seems to be straight from CCTV, a propaganda.
Can someone pls import some better documentaries from Asia? I’d suggest approaching TVB or ATV in Hong Kong. Much more objective perspective, in my opinion.
