7 May 2011 - China has ordered TV stations across the country not to air any detective shows,
spy thrillers or dramas about time-travel for the next three months. All have been ordered off-air with immediate effect. An official at China's state TV regulator confirmed to the BBC that the verbal order had been made. China's Communist Party is preparing to mark 90 years since its founding and the authorities want TV stations to air programmes praising the party instead. The government wants China's one billion television viewers to tune in to a wholesome diet of patriotic propaganda that will glorify the party ahead of the anniversary on 1 July.
