  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • When was the last time you turned on the tv in a hotel room?

  • If it isn't smart enough to automatically turn on upon your entry?

  • For that matter, do you even care about whether there is a tv in the room?

  • Hello, I'm Li Ming, and this is roundtable today with Yushan and Steve Hatherley.

  • We assessed China's recent policies encouraging hotels to renew their tv sets and how that might affect the economy and our travel experience.

  • So back to our question.

  • At the very beginning, when was the last time you turned on the tv in a hotel room?

  • The last time I was in a hotel room was the last time I turned on a tv.

  • So you do turn on the tv.

  • It seems like I'm in the minority these days when I'm the one who's turning on the tv.

  • Now, I don't stay in my hotel room all day long and watch tv, but what I do is go out, do my things during the day, come back when I'm getting ready for bed.

  • Before I go to sleep, I'll flip through the channels.

  • And part of it is because, you know, I'm looking for something to wind down to.

  • But oftentimes I'm just looking to see what television is like in the country that I'm in.

  • It's a big screen.

  • Yeah, yeah, with a few channels, so.

  • I still enjoy it.

  • So to answer your question, the last time I used the tv in a hotel room was the last time I was in a hotel room, which was about three, four weeks ago.
