Stayed in China for more than 2 months, and I could really feel the prowess of CCTV due to personal experience and observation in China. There is around-clock English news channel provided by CCTV, though many reports or even anchors are foreigners, there are many Chinese dispatches or correspondents in many places of the world. So, even the video were taken from other news agencies, CCTV is actually able to give its own views of news by their reports.
VOA (Voice of America) & BBC (British Broadcasting Corp.) are cutting their services, at the same time, I also read the reports about CCTV and Xinhua News Agency are together expanding their presence in African regions by providing low cost or even free news coverage.
Taiwan's international news reports are rather limited, and most of them are provided by USA, so our view toward the world are very American. Then China is providing news to African countries, so I can assume later on the people in those regions will have a view toward the world very similar or close to Chinese.
When some 20+ years ago, I was very impressed by Japan's NHK, who did not just provide news in Japanese, but also English, and even Spanish. I was a student then, and found Japan a very advanced country than Taiwan, besides it was more internationalized. But NHK seemed not expand much in past 2 decades, which to certain extent also reflects the economic situation of Japan.
Due to huge deficit, USA and Britain are cutting their budgets. Both VOA and BBC had to reduce their operation and close certain services. At the same time, with plenty of money, China's CCTV is expanding rapidly.
I paid little attn to French TV5 and RFI. But if BBC and VOA continuing scale-down their services and operation, then Germany's Deutsche Welle (DW) might soon be the world's ablest state supported media. CCTV+ Xinhua News Agency are still far away from catching VOA, BBC or DW. However, when I looked at Taiwan's, the Radio Taiwan International (RTI) & CNA appeared not to be a competitive contender.
