The former CCTV 9 is now called CCTV News as of Jan., 2011. This is the same channel that is marketed internationally, and often listed as CCTV 9 on foreign program guides.

There are two new CCTV 9 Documentary channels with separate programming. One is all Chinese, the other is mostly Chinese with English subtitles.

Are you an expat or an immigrant ??? :huh:

 

The Wall Street Journal, the leading financial information magazine in the world, has a blog dedicated to the life of expats and recently they featured a story ‘Who is an expat, anyway?’. Here are the main conclusions: “Some arrivals are described as expats; others as immigrants; and some simply as migrants. It depends on social class, country of origin and economic status. It’s strange to hear some people in Hong Kong described as expats, but not others. Anyone with roots in a western country is considered an expat … Filipino domestic helpers are just guests, even if they’ve been here for decades. Mandarin-speaking mainland Chinese are rarely regarded as expats … It’s a double standard woven into official policy.”
