With North Korea's satellite launch being a major talking point on TV stations worldwide, it's no surprise that Chinese media was also part of the debate. Today's CCTV4 edition of Focus Today (Jin Ri Guan Zhu) aired a 30-minute current affairs programme concerning the launch of the Kwangmyongsong-3 "satellite" which gives some insight into reaction among experts there.

The programme was hosted by Wang Shilin, who started by asking the panel whether or not the launch was disguised as a missile launch, and attended by CCTV contributing commentators Jin Canrong (Associate Dean of the School of International Studies at Renmin University of China) and Zhang Zhaozhong (Professor at the National Defence University and Rear Admiral)
