Yang Rui, the Dalai Lama and a scary caller from Iowa

On Point, the live news talk show on NPR, broadcast its show live from Shanghai last week.

This episode is well worth a listen.

Hosted by Tom Ashbrook, it features an impassioned Yang Rui (the CCTV host), Hong Kong journalist Willy Lo-Lap Lam, and Shanghai correspondent for The Wall Street Journal James Areddy.

They talk about the anti-CNN movement, Jim Cafferty, Tibet, Chinese nationalism etc. The show includes a funny soundbite from the Dalai Lama, a scary-sounding caller from Iowa. There's also a soundbite from U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley saying that it would be a "cop-out" for countries to skip the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics.
