Summary: China, the world's most populous country - population 1.3bn is one of the key drivers of global media in the 21st century. It has attracted huge foreign investment in media and communications. This isn't surprising when you consider that there are more than 700 million Chinese who listen to 1,000 radio stations or that there are 200 TV stations with over 2,900 channels and that over 100 million Chinese have cable TV.   What world news do the Chinese receive? And do the Chinese tell the world everything? Is it true that all news is censored in China? These are just some of the questions that a panel of experienced journalists and experts will discuss on what China is saying to the world.
