From a BBS (how appropriate) discussion on PBS's new China documentary, <a href="http://discussions.pbs.org/viewtopic.pbs?t=68524" title="PBS Discussions :: View topic - I can not help feeling weird towards this program">a comment by the alias ChineseHawkeye</a>:

<quote>After watch two episodes of "China from the inside", I have to say it is weird.

The tone of the program is negative and dark, not a good documentary for foreigners to view China in a comprehensive manner. Rather, the series seems to be prepared for chinese officials who need to think hard what to do and how to improve. Why foreignors care about chinese problems?</quote>

A very good question with a long, complicated answer.
