ALUMNI STORIES – Part 2: Zhang Zihao 张子豪 Format Developer of Hunan TV 湖南电视台

CMC

I was so excited to be admitted to CMC as an intern, I have to say, it was a special and acheter du viagra sans ordonnance en france spectacular experience for me. It was my first time to be fully exposed to the UK television culture, which has given me deep insights about the industry. As a project assistant, I help to coordinate academic and social activities for the Chinese delegates and also help with some translation and interpretation work. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to sit in the lectures given by world-class producers and directors. I even managed to grab the opportunities to communicate and exchange some thoughts with some iconic figures in UK TV industry, which has significantly broadened my horizons and shaped my views on how innovative skills can be used in the TV format development and production. This experience literately lit up the route of my future career and helped me to step into the television industry. Now I am a TV format developer at Hunan TV, one of the leading broadcasting corporations in China, responsible for format evaluation and viagra barato en linea market research. I have been successfully and constantly applying the knowledge and skills I acquired during the CMC internship into the workplace. I am proud to say, this experience was such an inspiration to me, it has built a bridge connecting the college learning with the real world. I love CMC and appreciate this opportunity. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the CMC professors and staff.

UCL Discussion

CMC

On 28 January 2020 Professor Hugo de Burgh and Professor Iwan Morgan spoke at the UCL European Horizons Society’s discussion of “Who is the biggest threat to the liberal international order: USA, China or Russia?”

In the photograph Professors Iwan Morgan and Hugo de Burgh with the President and Secretary of the UCL European Horizons Society.

The long-standing international rule-based liberal order has come under unprecedented threat in recent years. Threatened not only by Russian interference or undermined by China’s ascendancy to economic dominance but also by American populism in the shape of the current president.

The liberal international order is widely understood as the institutions and rules adopted by nation states belonging to the order to ultimately promote and defend democracy. But who among these represents the biggest threat to it?

The purpose of the event was to analyse the actions being taken by the USA, China and Russia to undermine key elements of the current order and how this threatens global stability.
