China: CCTV -1 condom · Global Voices
Oiwan Lam

A man in Fujian is trying to register a brand of condoms he calls “Central 1 condom” (zhong yang yi tao), which refers to CCTV-1. Ah Q weekly looks into the literal meaning of “Zhong yang Yi Tao”.  “Tao” is related with “trap and arrest”, therefore, if CCTV claimed the condom brand infringed its rights, CCTV would put itself into a “Tao” position (zh).
