Chinese hail Murdoch for free market media talk By James Kynge in Beijing Published: October 8 2003 21:19 \| Last Updated: October 8 2003 21:19 Rupert Murdoch, the media baron once disdained by Beijing, was applauded on Wednesday by a hall full of senior Communist party cadres after a lecture during which he extolled the virtues of a free market media and said China had the potential to become a global media hub. Such signs of Mr Murdoch's return to favour were underscored by approvals recently granted to News Corp, the company he runs, to distribute its Mandarin-language entertainment channel to an additional 1m homes in the southern province of Guangdong. Jamie Davis, head of Star TV, a News Corp subsidiary in China, told the Financial Times that the new approvals, which are due to take effect from October 28, are to distribute Xingkong Weishi, a Mandarin entertainment channel, through Guangzhou City Cable and Shenzhen City Cable. news.ft.com
