"World Wide Watch" is one of the famous programs of CCTV-9 Yang, as one of the planners of the program, said that some developed western countries in the world have dominated the media world for a long time. The news they report is mainly about their own countries, no matter the news is significant or not. When talking about China, their tone is mainly negative. And most pieces of news they report are sensational ones. In the eyes of quite a number of western media, China is connected with disasters and backwardness. Yang said that the purpose of the "World Wide Watch" is striving to break this kind of imbalance and stereotypes, giving the western audience a full and correct picture about China. As one of the most important developing countries, China should have a proper position in the media world. In order to attract the indifferent westerners' interest in Chinese news, Yang said, the contents of "World Wide Watch" should be internationalized, and at the same time report the situation in China and other developing countries from a penetrating perspective and in an objective true to fact manner. Yang's biggest hope ,he says is to see CCTV-9 become a powerful competitor for CNN and BBC.
