14. Testimonials “ I'm a China specialist and would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the outstanding broadcasting of NTDTV. It's so important to have an alternative to the official mouthpiece in China, and keep the pressure on the Chinese news agencies. NTDTV does a great job of that but it still manages to be very objective in its editorial score. Personally I think NTDTV really is leading the way for the post-Communist Chinese world, and giving a whole new perspective to the Chinese community outside of mainland. I also believe it will prevail on the right side of history.” “ I just watch the Mandarin broadcasts and have told a lot of my Chinese friends about it, too. I think NTDTV helps people see China in a new way, and encourages viewers to discover the difference between the country and the government. You don't have to love the present Chinese government to be very proud of being Chinese. The CCP does a good job of confusing people by blending love for the CCP with love for the country, but NTDTV does a better job of distinguishing between these two and debunking the propaganda machine. 加油 !”

CCTV One of the official mouthpieces of the Chinese government, and reports directly to high-level officials in the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Central Propaganda Department . [2] Notorious for censorship, fabrication, and propaganda Internet censorship in China is among the most stringent in the world. The government blocks Web sites that discuss the Dalai Lama, the 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters, Falun Gong, and other Internet sites. Web sites in China are required to employ people who monitor and delete objectionable content; tens of thousands of others are paid to "guide" bulletin board Web exchanges in the government's favor. No credibility More and more Chinese have access to outside media
CCP demands total control of information - Why? Obvious has a lot to hide So let ’s say you were a Chinese person, would you appreciate a TV network that was completely honest and accurate when presenting you the facts? Would you watch that network if it had superior news reporting as well as entertaining programs?
