Round One... CCTV9

So from now on I'm glued to the TV. I'm going to offer some rare praise to CCTV9 which despite making its lead story the relatively irrelevant meeting between Wen Jiabao and the president of Ethiopa spent a good ten minutes on US election coverage.

Of course the angle was a Chinese one, and that's fair enough (it'll make good discussion material for tomorrow's journalism class). But the Chinese angle is an important one, with Taiwan and trade tariffs at the top of the agenda.

The station even did a vox pop round up of views around Beijing and incredibly found a Bush supporter though perhaps he might have just been being facetious. Of 100 polled, however, about 77% descibed America as the most unpopular nation in Chinese eyes (Russia was most popular).

There was some interesting research that came out a week before polling day, where people in a dozen or so countries had been interviewed on their voting intentions if they had have been able to vote in the US. Unsurprisingly, a vast majority, particularly in Europe (reinforcing stereotype, but that's what the research said) would have voted for Kerry ahead of Bush. Russia and Israel were the two that jumped the other way, and domestic explanations in both cases give some idea of why the left-wing candidate would have struggled.
