Last week, Straits Exchange Foundation Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤) met Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) and other officials to closer Taiwan-China relations. This is a historic event, for talks on this level haven't happened for nearly ten years. For now, they've signed an agreement to open up weekend direct charter flights and ease travel restrictions of Chinese to come to Taiwan.
As this historic event happened, "international" news increased dramatically. Sometimes I would anchor an entire hour without presenting one international story. Well, OK, we do have MLB news, since we have exclusive broadcast rights in Taiwan. But in the past two days I was anchoring, there was quite a bit of news from China. Aside from the government meetings, there was also news from Sichuan that normally wouldn't make it on the rundown, like panda bears running out of bamboos to munch on. So now the world according to FTV is Taiwan+MLB+China. At least we now have China on the list. I'm quite happy. Did you know that Danes are the happiest people on earth because they have the lowest expectations?
Now I'm hoping that the Diaoyutai islands dispute will bring more Japan news to air. Background info: a Japanese coast guard vessel deliberately rammed and sunk a Taiwanese fishing vessel and detained the captain for three days. Taiwan, Japan and China all assert sovereignty over the Diaoyutai's.
上禮拜，海基、海協會恢復對話，
簽下協議開放陸客來台，週末包機，
我發現，"國際新聞"增加了！
有時候播一節新聞，整節都不會播到國際新聞，
除非是大聯盟的新聞，因為民視有獨家轉播權。
但兩岸恢復對話讓中國大陸的新聞上了電視，
而且還有一些通常不會看到的四川新聞，
像貓熊面臨沒菜吃的問題等等也都上去了。
感覺好像民視的世界地圖多了一個國家：
台灣＋有大聯盟的美國＋中國。
我很開心。
你知道嗎？丹麥人是世界上最快樂的民族
因為他們對事情的期待都很小。
現在希望釣魚台爭議
也會讓更多日本的新聞播出。
另外，這是Amy之前的留言，
看了忍不住站起來拍拍手。
On another note, Amy left a comment on another blog article the other day saying:
深度是記者的素養，
精緻度是電視台長官的責任
長官審稿是主業，罵人是副業
通常他們副業都做得比主業好
I couldn't help but stand up and clap.
