Yang Rui was born in Heilongjiang Province in China. He started his career as a journalist with China National Radio. Currently he is the host of Dialogue, an English language discussion programme.

Dialogue

The show called Dialogue is a program that is formatted similar to Larry King Live and Imus in the Morning, in which the talks are generally political in nature. For example, the topics discussed are:

China-Taiwan relations
North Korea nuclear tests
