"Business Matters: China Cybersecurity Conference 20 Nov 14

Thu, 20 Nov 14

China stages an online summit - in a country where the internet is severely¹ restricted. But we hear arguments for censoring² the internet. We have a special report from our team on the ground in Zambia, looking at the continuing impact of HIV/AIDS on the children of Zambia. Also, as the biggest billboard³ in the world is unveiled in New York - we ask how effective this kind of advertising⁴ is. Finally, authorities in Thailand have banned a certain hand signal from Hollywood blockbuster 'The Hunger Games' - because it is being used in real life to show hatred⁵ for the military. We look at other film symbolism that has translated in to real life. All this with our guests Jose Martin, a blogger and researcher of social unrest, who's in New York, and Simon Littlewood of the Asia Now consulting group in Singapore.
