However... when the shoe is on the other foot? well Al-Reuters has the answer.
BEIJING, July 13 (Reuters) - China has moved for the second time this year to limit outside involvement in its electronic media, banning city and provincial broadcasters from even cooperating with foreign firms.
One Chinese television company, Qinghai TV, said such regulations had caused it to cancel plans to work with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the China News Service and the People's Daily Online reported.
"Radio and television stations may not rent channels to foreign organisations (and) may not cooperate in funding and operating radio and television channels with foreign organisations," the regulations published on the Web site of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said.
The regulations, which did not apply to central media, also said foreign organisations could not cooperate with local broadcasters on programming, including live shows.
but of course Nation wide enterprises (I.E ran by the central government) have no such ban.
this is your moment of free trade humor
