TV in China

[555]

Can someone here explain more of the use of the abbreviation TV in china?

If you ask a chinese native / say to a chinese native TV...would he/she know it? is the term TV common...not common to china?


Thanks,

Michael

The Chinese word for television is 电视.

But average educated people know simple English like TV at least.

Chinese people know that what is "tv" .

"旅游"(travel),'酒店"(hotels),"tv" ; those are hot keywords in China.

compare with the "旅游,酒店,tv"search volume ,
the "tv" search volume in China is quite good now.

the "tv" search volume will be growing very rapidly in the future.
