Having watched CCTV news, which I assume is the much talked about CCP rival of CCN, I can say that CCN has nothing to worry about. Even the most basic criteria for success has not been fullfilled. Apart from baby faced James Chau, who looks and speaks like an english public school boy with who has just finished his GCSEs, the presenters do not speak clear, grammatical English, so that listening to the channel is tiring and confusing. After a few minutes, I stopped trying to follow them and switched to playing "count the grammatical mistakes". I don't imagine my friends in England who can't even be bothered to read subtitles will have patience. It looks like another huge white elephant aimed to make the Chinese leaders feel good about themselves, and bolster their ridiculous claims that China is becoming a great nation under their glorious leadership.
Chinese leaders seem to live on another planet, where foreigners who speak bad English get jobs as news reporters on an international English language news channel, and consumers will listen to them, because they have no choice. But foreigners have lots of choice, and very few will choose to listen to this channel.
Even the talents of James Chau are wasted when reads out things like "the talks ( between the leaders of Japan, Korea and China) set the tone for their relationship over the next ten years".
