Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji will appear on a special program to be aired by Tokyo Broadcasting System Inc. during his six-day visit to Japan that begins Thursday, TBS officials said Saturday.
The one-hour show will be screened on Oct. 14 at 10 p.m. and will feature Zhu speaking directly with members of a studio audience in Tokyo.
TSB officials said they are currently recruiting about 100 people interested in forming the audience. They also plan to hook up to a studio in the Kansai region to enable residents there to speak directly with the Chinese premier.
