You seem to forget that Chinese media is contolled by the state, hardly an incentive for creativity.

There is almost none. Certainly Western entertainment has dropped off in quality compared to decades back. But at least for China the "heroic" defenders of that place cannot claim what is on TV is any better.

You are too much of a zhongguo tong methinks!

I don't understand....Ta dao di na li tong le? I thought "tong" in this case meant the character which represents "in the know". Maybe it's the literal sense of "tong" sina style :) ?
