New programming from Baidu: Boiling Point

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.
