If you are familiar with China, you must hear of Mainland and Taiwan.
Taiwan is big island in the south of China. It used to be a province of China and was once occupied by Japanese in World War II.
After the end of the second World War, this island returned to China at 1945. Unexpectedly, a civil war broke out just after the War with Japan. In 1949, the Communist Party won the civil war and the Kuomindang Party retreated to Taiwan.
Tonight, a professor coming from Taiwan gave us a lecture about the journalism of Taiwan.
The government of Taiwan has little influence on the journalism. In other words, the televisions and newspapers can report almost everything as long as they want. Their major goal is to obtain more economic benefits. It looks like democratic. However, medias are full of bad news in order to attract people's attention, as people have less enthusiasm on good news.
He was anxious about current situation of Taiwan's medias. He think the only way to get rid of this shortcoming is improve the cultural quality of the whole people.
