In China Live, Mike Chinoy provides an insider's view of two of the most important forces shaping our eraāthe rise of global satellite news and the rise of China. Exploring not only how events shape television, but how TV can shape the news as it unfolds, Chinoy describes his personal and professional journey through key political dramas, from armed conflict in Northern Ireland, Lebanon, Indochina, and Afghanistan, to the āpeople powerā revolution in the Philippines and the ongoing crisis in North Korea.
