[edit] History
The program was originally called "Real Time Beijing" and was originally hosted by Xiaohua and Trevor Metz. The program format was not that different other than the name change made the focus of the program for all of China rather than just Beijing. As of early 2006, the program was then renamed "China Drive".

Sometimes the webcast of the morning edition still bears the code "rtb" ("Real Time Beijing"), while the usual code "cd" ("China Drive") is used, depending on who prepares the edit for webcast - often one of the presenters themselves.
