BCC reporter Chen Pai-chia pointed out, reporting in the mainland, his opponents were Voice of America, Hong Kong TV Broadcasting Company, and other media. With the hand-held broadcasting equipment they had, almost as soon as anything happened, radio and television viewers could follow it step by step. This really played out the full function of the media, and was superior in terms of timeliness.
中廣記者陳百嘉指出，在大陸採訪，他的對手是美國之音（VOA）、香港無線與亞洲電視等廣電媒體，而這些媒體的手提傳話設備，幾乎達到了現場發生什麼，收音機、電視機前的觀眾、聽眾就可同步聽到什麼的地步，充分發揮了媒體功能，在時效上佔盡優勢。
