bnnvara?
Just the first one that comes to mind, there's a tonne of 'm. I like their show "boos"
I'd need to dive into their specific funding model, which seems opaque, but if it is government funded then it is the same as all the Chinese networks that Westeen chauvinists label "state-backed" every time they're mentioned.
They're not state run. But state funded, yes. That doesn't have to be inherently bad. I'm more worried about the conflict of interest in commercial spaces.
You're never going have a perfect risk free situation
State-run and state-funded is an arbitrary distinction. At some point they need to hire people to run the network with limited funds allocated selectively by bureaucrats.
Compare this to Shenzhen Television. How does a person get on the board to dole out funds to BNNVARA? How does a person get hired to run BNNVARA? Who funds the funders? Compare this to Shenzhen Television. How do you become someone choosing to dole out funds to Shenzhen Television? How do you get hired to run a program at Shenzhen Television. The differences are suvtle but ST is more democratically run.
Trough an hr person or manager who works independent from the funders. Those teams then get their own freedom to do research.
In China, the CCP has access to all info, and gets to make decisions for literally every commercial organization in the country. And that's exactly what happens
Lol, "yeah bro, they're totally independent from the people who hire them and pay their salary"
Sorry friend but you don't know anything about China. Shenzhen Television also has HR. And of course it is managers and producers making the hiring decisions in question.
The CCP is involved, in this case, at the city level, with officials establishing themselves through merit and elections.
