A Filipino Correspondent in Beijing: Up Close and Personal with CNN’s Jaime Florcruz

Abstract

CNN's Jaime FlorCruz generously shared his life and the life in China, from the time of Marxist equality amid poverty, to when China first opened its doors to its neighbors, and to the present. He discussed media's changing role. He concluded by noting the price of China's prosperity: the issues of central control and Chinese values. He posed the question: Can China be porous and at the same time retain its distinct quality as Chinese?
