I had a laugh about "CCTV" as well. :)

Also, I am reminded that one of the few times I've watched CCTV was when I was sitting in watching arraignments, and the courtroom conferenced with lawyer and prisoners in a secure room on the other end of the wire.

'Course, I'm _quite_ sure the Chinese do not favor vertical steel bars as their television backdrops.

Aren't they paying attention? 

You need Kung Fu masters to play proper chinese football. Where's Mighty Steel Leg these days?
