China lauds iPhone app that spreads state views – China, iphone apps – Good Gear Guide.
China’s film and TV regulator late Tuesday praised the growth of an iPhone application from state broadcaster CCTV as the country looks for new ways to project its political views abroad.
The free iPhone app, one of a growing number from Chinese state-owned news outlets, has gained 500,000 users in the month or so since it went online and is adding 2,000 new users each day, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said in a statement on its Web site. The CCTV app has shown “favorable performance” and proven especially popular during broadcasts of major events, such as a high-flown military parade held in Beijing last month, the statement said.
