Dan wrote to tell me about XinHua, the Chinese official governmental newswire, which features slightly sinister sounding newsbites like this:
In order to create a more friendly environment for HIV/AIDS patients, and for the purpose of better prevention, China plans to make relevant knowledge accessible to 75 percent of the urba population, 45 percent of rural residents, and 80 percent of high risk people such as drug users.
Mass media across the country have been encouraged to carry and broadcast reports and non-commercial advertisements on a weekly basis to promote the spread of correct information.
