The China Related TV list is compiled weekly by Kirby Bartlett-Sloan. Kirby, an adoptive parent of three Chinese girls, has one of the most comprehensive TV listings of programs on China and from China that are in the English language. The listing includes feature Chinese films, documentaries, and entertainment programs shown on major US networks. We try to note when more mature shows are listed. Remember, older movies may depict stereotypes. Any PBS listings may or may not be on your local station when listed. Check local listings. - Kirby
