This was due to being unable to see any reports on this topic in Chinese state media. The report said overseas Chinese media included newspapers and TV stations. When they hold different opinions, it is like state media having competition when they report sensitive topics that are blocked by CCP censorship. According to LA Times, The Epoch Times reported Straightforward information on the CCP in 19 languages. Talk show programs on NTD also reported on the recently escaped Chinese blind dissident Chen Guangcheng, as well as rumors Wen Jiabao may resign due to this political event. NTD Television Vice President Zhou Shiyu said at their last meeting in New York that CNN stood out for their reporting on The Gulf War. AL Jazeera benefited from reporting on the Arab Spring. Political changes in China will make NTD a top media. NTD audiences have increased 5 times in recent months. 500, 000 Mainland Chinese watch NTD everyday. According to LA Times, overseas media reporters in China say that they must watch media from overseas dissident's. Chinese mainland scholar Mr Lu. told NTD that he saw some people watching NTD in their homes. Mr. Lu: "They can't know the truth here. For example, there's a blast somewhere, but why did it happen. People want to know about it in appropriate ways, such as NTD, The Epoch Times, Sound of Hope etc. Everyone is watching as far as I know." Founder of the Global Freedom of Information Campaign Zhang Xinyu says, everyone wants to know the truth at this critical moment. Some overseas Chinese media have to follow the CCP voice for thei own interests. Thus we can't trust them. Zhang Xinyu: "When such a thing happens in China, Chinese media don't report on them for their own interest. If there's interest for the media, they'll report. If not they won't. But Chinese people desire to know truth. So they'll pay attention to independent truthful media." A Wuhan audience Mr. Qin says that the CCP interrupts netizens getting onto the NTD website. Every time when they break the internet blockade and get to the NTD website, they get a computer virus. Mr. Qin: "I have software to break the internet blockade. But I get a virus everytime I get onto the web. My favorite program is China Click, but I can't watch it now." Liu Yinquan, the China Democratic Party Central Committee host says that the CCP factional infighting has become more and more critical, and more scandals are coming out. CCP controlled overseas media play an important role. If the CCP keeps blocking information, it will stimulate those overseas media to develop further. Liu Yinquan: "NTD and The Epoch Times are playing important roles. Also media like Sound of Hope, KanZhongGuo, Renminbao, and Boxun etc., all play very important roles. Since overseas medias can't get truth from Chinese state media, they'll get information from these independent media. Those independent media reveal the truth of the CCP, and report the CCP's inner arguments." Famous overseas activist Tang Baiqiao told a Reuters reporter that he heard from an overseas reporter that all mainstream media in the world are reading The Epoch Times. Tang says that from being ignored to being a mainstream, and then to being a focus among mainstream media. The Epoch Times is amazing. It is a sacred miracle. 《神韵》2011世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
