Luxi Posted November 8, 2018 at 12:52 PM Report Posted November 8, 2018 at 12:52 PM Just when one thought Chinese news reporting couldn't get any worse... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-46136504 Quote Xinhua News claims the presenter "can read texts as naturally as a professional news anchor", though not everyone may agree... ...Xinhua says the presenters can "work" 24 hours a day on its website and social media channels, "reducing news production costs".
