Myanmar switched on to Chinese TV

Chinese soap operas are making inroads in the fast-growing Myanmar TV market, and are poised to challenge the dominant position held by South Korean programs.

Marriage Battle, one of China's most watched TV dramas in 2010, in which the traditional roles of a husband and wife are put to the test by modern pressures, is currently one of the most-watched programs on Myanmar's national MNTV.

Two famous TV stars from Myanmar - Thiri Shinn Thant and Si Thu Maung - are dubbing the voices of the show's major characters.
