In China Live: People Power and the Television Revolution, Mike Chinoy provides an insiders view of two of the most important forces shaping our erathe 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 people power revolution in the Philippines and the ongoing crisis in North Korea.The core of the book is Chinoys lifelong involvement with China. As CNNs first Beijing bureau chief, Chinoy recounts a riveting tale of covering the China beat, especially the momentous events in Tiananmen Square in 1989. CNNs unprecedented live broadcasts of the student uprising and army crackdown marked a turning point in modern journalism and played a critical role in shaping international perceptions of China.Revised and updated to include such recent events as the death of Deng Xiaoping, the handover of Hong Kong, the turmoil in Indonesia, and the continuing debate over the legacy of Tiananmen, China Live remains a compelling account of the life of an award-winning foreign correspondent and a revealing glimpse inside the world of television news.

Once Zhuangzi dreamt that he was a butterfly. He did not know that he had ever been anything but a butterfly and was content to hover from flower to flower.

Suddenly he awoke and discovered to his astonishment that he was Zhuangzi. But it was hard to be sure whether he really was Zhuangzi and had only dreamt that he was a butterfly, or really was a butterfly and only dreaming that he was Zhuangzi.

Preface
This book is the story of my personal journey, the education of a foreign correspondent caught up in some of the most momentous events of the twentieth century. China's turbulent transformation from Maoist poverty and isolation to rising superpower, wrought by the greatest economic boom of modern times but stained by the blood of Tiananman Square, plays a central role in my narrative. However, the China story shares top billing with a profoundly important development of a different kindthe emergence of global satellite TV news, with its power to transmit human experience in real time across vast distances, crucially influencing political decisions, economic relationships, and social trends. For most of my adult life, I have been in the unusual and sometimes uncomfortable position of straddling both these powerful forces, watching as they interacted and sometimes collided. My experiences in the television revolution and the Chinese Revolutioneight years as a Hong Kong based China-watcher, nearly five years as a London-based roving reporter, eight years as CNN's Beijing bureau chief, and my current assignment as Hong Kong bureau chiefform the heart of this book.
