Abstract
This study investigates advertising aimed at children and the food environment in children’s programs broadcast on the China Central Television network. The study documented how foods were shown in television advertisements and editorial content. Findings show that children were exposed to a large number of unhealthy food advertisements. In addition, the advertising appeals used in the television advertisements were similar to those used in Western countries. As part of the socialization process, the television advertisements may have a negative influence on children’s health in China.
