Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think China always goes their own way with doing shows that are "like" shows in the rest of the world. For example, the "Idol" franchise is copied all around the world, but China does their own thing. Same with the "DWTS" franchise, etc. Maybe Chinese TV is not able to allow "franchise" type shows because of political considerations? Of course, there are always cultural differences, but those type of adjustments are allowed for in "franchise" shows I think. On a related topic, are any western TV shows aired in China, either dubbed or with sub-titles?
