China Central Adult Video (CCAV)

CCAV

CCAV (China Central Adult Video) is a derogatory nickname for CCTV (China Central Television). CCAV became a popular term when CCTV’s evening news broadcast a piece about the need to crack down on adult videos. The term can be used as an adjective to describe something hypocritical.

CCTV is often a target among Chinese bloggers. For example, please read this post written by China's most popular blogger, Han Han.

"CCAV: On site and providing you with all the gossip"

CCTV program on anti-porn efforts.

"CCAV, against pornography, violence and vulgarity."
