CCTV Channel 7 is the military channel on national Chinese television and is available to anybody. They have the best looking presenters, all in uniform, of the entire network.

During my years in China I would like to watch it as it would show historic films, both documentary and fictional, of the battles that the Chinese fought during and after the Japanese occupation. The history of the War of Liberation was always illustrated with the usual cheering crowds and flag waving.

The channel was also an easy way of lecturing conscripts. You could pass the morning watching how to load and sight a 105mm. howitzer and then see how to strip and reassemble an assault rifle.

Channel 7 has been going for twenty years in my experience. The UK Forces TV has got to get some time in.
