For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

 The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has licensed 65 hours of TV shows to Chinese state TV broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV).

The deal was announced Wednesday at the third annual BBC Worldwide China Showcase, a sales and pitching event held in Beijing.

Factual programs, in particular natural history shows, made up most of the package. Titles concerned included “Attenborough’s Ark,” (pictured) “Jaguars – Born Free,” “Penguins – Spy in the Huddle” and “Giant Otters of the Amazon.”

“In the years that we’ve worked together, we’ve seen an interest of documentary increase among our Chinese viewers,” said Liu Wen, managing director, CCTV Documentary Channel. 

In April the BBC and CCTV9 signed a co-production agreement for “Hidden Kingdoms,” a series that features the natural world’s most fascinating small creatures. The 2D and 3D versions of the series are due to be delivered by mid-2014.

BBC's Natural History programmes really are very good.
