China Central Television (CCTV) interview with Sir Elton John
UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador James Chau joined us for last year’s World AIDS Day. James is also news anchor at China Central Television (CCTV) and made sure that the World AIDS Day celebrations in Sydney were widely covered in the Chinese media. His interview with Sir Elton John has been widely broadcasted in China, reaching some 200 million viewers.
Of course, we all know that Elton John is immensely popular all around the world, but he is one of the few entertainers from the ‘West’ who is truly well-known amongst all generations in China. James Chau spoke with Elton John about his pioneering action on AIDS and his Foundation. Below the interview and a longer version of the interview that was aired as a holiday special on the 30th of December 2011.
