NTD to Eutelsat: Re-Open Window of Truth to China CHAN: NTD has been broadcasting to mainland China via satellite since 2004. We provide the only uncensored Chinese TV news and programs available there, given the communist regime's tight media censorship. Our broadcasts have been made possible thanks to a contract with French satellite provider Eutelsat Communications. But since June 16th this year, our broadcasts to the mainland have stopped. Eutelsat claims there's a technical problem with its satellite transponders. But it may be not be that simple. Back in 2005, Eutelsat tried to cancel our satellite contract because of pressure from the Chinese regime. However, thanks to widespread support from our viewers and the U.S. government, Eutelsat eventually agreed to renew our contract. So our broadcasts to China continued. Just before Eutelsat allegedly signed a lucrative agreement with Chinese authorities last month, NTD's satellite broadcast mysteriously went black. And it comes at the worst possible time. Since the beginning of this year, numerous disasters have struck China. And the incompetence and corruption of the communist regime has been making these natural disasters worse. For example, large numbers of school children died needlessly in the May 12 earthquake because of shoddy school construction. Without NTD's watchdog broadcasts, these kinds of man-made disasters will be allowed to continue unchecked. And they will continue to cost countless lives. Out of a spirit of partnership, NTD has given Eutelsat ample time to resolve its so-called technical problems. But Eutelsat still refuses to answer our specific technical questions or restore our service. We are asking Eutelsat to follow international and European regulations, as well as its own charter, and immediately resume NTD's broadcast to China. We hope Eutelsat can see the long-term value of serving the true interests of 1.3 billion Chinese people. To learn more or to voice your support, you can visit NTDTV.com.

Bach For More: NTD Violin Competition enters second day STORY: The eleven qualifying semifinalists take the stage one by one, grateful to have made it this far yet intent on delivering their best performances, and making it through this second round of competition. Moving on from the first round's Mozart concerti, each of today's players has chosen between Bach and Beethoven pieces, which present both much greater diversity of composition and a new opportunity to develop and demonstrate one's own style. The players are mindful of the fact that they will judged not only on their technical accuracy, but on their ability to interpret and evoke the emotional qualities of the music that they play. Beethoven is perhaps more than anything known for the powerful emotions expressed throughout his work, and Bach for the subtle complexity and sense of awe and wonder that are attributed to his music. But do these qualities come out in today's performances? (Timothy Robinson, Lecturer, Yale University) "Well, let me put it this way, I must have heard the same Bach fugue played today about 8 times, and each time by each of the young artists, I was hearing new things. I think there's a certain purity of a solo violin playing; the perfection of tone and intonation, and in my opinion the greatest works for the violin are by Bach, and maybe the string quartets of Mozart, Hayden and Beethoven. And so it has a certain purity and simplicity to it that I find extremely gratifying." The degree of freedom that the performers actually have with the music can be detected in both the diversity of their playing styles and the comments that they make about the pieces. For some players, the ideas being expressed by these Classical composers are something almost inexpressible in words, yet which comes out clearly on stage before the audience and judges' panel. Now, as the performers recuperate, await results and look back over the day's performances, they reflect a bit on the nature of the music itself. (Fang-Yu Liu, Semifinalist) "I played the Bach..." (need to fill in clip of him playing, as there is a long pause here while Ryan asks the next question) "I think it's kind of royal...and I think I need to find the articulation and intonation, and have it very clear, and make the music very, very brilliant." (Jean-Hee Lee, Semifinalist) "I played the Bach G Minor Fugue, because there were two choices for this round and the other choice was the Beethoven which I felt was rather similar to the Mozart in terms of style and I wanted to, sort of, branch out, and so I chose the Bach... "For Bach I feel that a lot of the expressions, the emotions that I'm trying to convey are rather abstract, and so it's hard to put a name to them in terms of any specific feelings and message." "Well, I think that, the fact that he was such a religious man, and wrote much of the music for the church, is so important, and should be remembered and you always have to keep that in mind while you're playing, and it changes the significance of a lot of his music because it becomes a lot more devout. And even if it's not the same god that you may be believing in, it's still that feeling of devotion that's so important." As the results are announced, the competitors are narrowed down to six contenders for tomorrow's final round, of whom most are guaranteed some form of official recognition, but only one of whom will receive the Gold Award. Those who will be moving on to the last round are Chen-Han Tsai, Kia-Hui Tan, Victor He, Yan Tong, Fang-Yu Liu, and Jean-Hee Lee. The semifinals have concluded, and the victorious violinists will put the Bach and Beethoven behind them to focus on tomorrow's final round, where they'll interpret the work of Paganini. This is Ryan Mitchell from the Town Hall Theatre, for NTD, New York. Tags: Violin Competition Bach Bethoven NTD International competition classical music culture chinese |

080925 [M! cou ntd own] M Lee Minwoo Comeback FINALLY! 2 songs: Don't trust men and I'M'U. ------------- I"M"U Perf Music: Lee Hyun Do / Lee Minwoo Lyrics: Lee Hyun Do / Lee Minwoo I "M" U = I "love" U So "M" = "love" And Minwoo is the new word for love :D I'M'U was so cute ^^ It'a M-nergy XD Love the song, love the outfit, love the dance, love the man! That sideways heart thingy is so adorable! It's actually rather cool...I wonder if this wasn't supposed to be the title track. --------------- 남자를믿지마 Perf Namjareul Mitjima / Don't Trust Men Music: Kang Dong Chul Lyrics: Kang Dong Chul The dancing is awesome ^^ (love 4:55) How is it possible that he was so cute and then seriously hawt a moment later? Honestly. Miinwoo looked a little dazed during the Don't Trust Men perf...he looked tired even before the perf. Don't know if you can see on youtube, but he was already red and sweating at the beginning (not that he isn't smexy that way), although he was fine after I'M'U. In his schedule, he was scheduled for both Mcount and M Super concert...which were at the same time and I was wondering how he could be in both places at the same time. It seems he might've performed I'M'U, then he left for the Super Concert and then came back for DTM perf. We'll see how things go in the comebacks to come. Sept. 26/27th for the other comebacks, and then a concert on the 28th. Whadda a week. Anyways, he's finally back! Don't double book yourself on the first day and tire yourself out right away, Minbongie...they're first perfs too! All things aside, it is a perf with potential. Let's see what Minwoo has in store for us ^^ He's always got something up his sleeves. M hwaiting! I'm sure everything's going to be great :) ---------- The mystery's been solved after watching fancams. It appears Minbong performed DTM three times and the studio looked hecka hot b/c everyone was sweating and Big tone had to take off his jacket. Tags: minwoo shinhwa |

Ucranianos piden restablecer la transmisión de NTD a China No hace mucho, más de 100 millones de chinos veían el canal de televisión independiente e internacional Nueva Dinastía Tang. NTD es la única estación que no es controlada por la censura del régimen comunista chino y se transmite a China continental durante todo el día. Sin embargo, casi dos semanas antes de los Juegos Olímpicos el canal fue bloqueado. En Ucrania, se llevo una conferencia de prensa en relación a este tema. La empresa satelital francesa Eutelsat comenta que la suspensión de NTD no está motivada políticamente por el Partido Comunista Chino. Sin embargo, una investigación llevada a cabo por la prestigiosa organización internacional Reporteros Sin Fronteras plantea lo contrario. [Alexander Nimenko, Director de NTD En Ruso]: "De acuerdo a la investigación de Reporteros sin Fronteras, el régimen chino ejerció regularmente presión sobre Eutelsat y sólo estuvo dispuesto a continuar las negociaciones después que la señal de NTD fuera cortada." Luego de que la señal de NTD fue cortada en China, millones de chinos fueron privados de su única fuente de noticias e información libre de la censura del Partido Comunista. Fieles televidentes de NTD en todo el mundo han realizado protestas y reclaman para que NTD vuelva a transmitirse en China. En Ucrania, el Instituto de Información Masiva (IIM) se encarga, de la libertad de expresión y del desarrollo del periodismo local. [Victoria Sumar, Directora Ejecutiva de IMI]: "Según las reglas básicas de los negocios, es muy poco profesional y deshonesto romper los términos de un acuerdo antes de su finalización. Lamentablemente parece que Eutelsat ha tomado el camino de la censura. Esto es muy sorprendente para una empresa tan conocida, y pienso que esto repercutirá en la reputación de Eutelsat." Hace varios años, los periodistas ucranianos fueron censurados por el régimen totalitario. Y por eso hoy están comprometidos a luchar por sus derechos. [Natallia Melnikova, corresponsal especial de UBC]: "Hasta que la señal sea restablecida, vamos a seguir reclamando y nuestros colegas se unirán e informaran al público en forma abierta ya que no es posible cerrar este canal. Si no protestamos, mantendríamos el silencio y ellos nos cerrarían uno tras otro. " Lamentablemente para NTD, esta no es la primera vez que Eutelsat ha sido presionada por el régimen comunista chino. En 2005 la empresa intentó ilegalmente romper con un contrato con NTD para ganar el derecho de transmisión de los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing.
