China Today is a magazine program in English targeting an overseas audience. Its 30-minute shows air Mondays and Fridays on both CCTV-4 and CCTV-9.

The program is made up of four parts -- Focus, Development, Insight and People. The first part focuses on current affairs; the second section features the latest developments in every aspect of the Chinese nation; Insight offers in-depth analysis of new social phenomena, cultural concepts and the latest fads; in the last part, we meet people from all walks of life who are making a difference in their particular fields of interest.

China Today not only offers a kaleidoscope of Chinese society and milestones achieved since the nation adopted its reform and opening up policy, but also explores the country's rich and longlasting cultural heritage. It serves as a window for overseas audiences to have an improved up-to-date understanding of China. It also provides a good opportunity for Chinese learners of English to improve their language skills.
