During a break from stuffing our faces with sandwiches, we noticed that, like
Sina, Baidu came up with one of those
dialogue, cross-fire type programs. Their version is called
Fei Dian (沸点) or
Boiling Point, which makes sense since the
Youth Daily (中国青年报) already has the rights to
Bing Dian (冰点). The
latest issues of Boiling Point (in Chinese), is a discussion about the
two conferences (National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference). We used to be interested in Chinese politics, but with the help of some caring people we've managed to put that behind us, so we're not going to vouch for the quality of this thing. The first episode of
Boiling Point was a dialogue between a
Southern Weekend reporter and (former? current?) bad-boy author
Wang Shuo.
