TOPSHOT-CHINA-IRAQ-WAR-RESTAURANT

TOPSHOT - A war dish of "Tomahawk missile bamboo shoots" is serve with the background of a map of Iraq, complimented by models of two Apache helicopters and a tank, at the Ming Jiang Lou (the House of the Great General) restaurant in the eastern tourist city of Hangzhou, 13 April 2003, to cash in on the Iraq war. China may be adamantly against a US-led war in Iraq, but the nation's state-owned media companies have cheerfully capitalised on surging advertising revenues as companies race to place ads during television broadcasts from the battlezones, as with more than 400 million Chinese said to be glued to their television sets watching developments unfold in Iraq, state media conglomerates broadcasting unprecedented live daily coverage of the war have been rewarded with soaring advertising revenues.
