Letter from Taiwan: Next Media Animation talks "History Channel on ...
But Earth to Western world: Next Media Animation (NMA) is not made by the Taiwanese government or by some race of space aliens called "Taiwanese" but is in fact a multi-national multi-ethnic news animation studio owned by a savvy Hong Kong media mogul.
That's Mr Jimmy Lai - and NMA is staffed in Taipei by animators, writers, translators and voice-over actors from over a dozen countries. So lose the "those funny Taiwanese videos" label and wake up to the fact that Taiwan is part of the same world you live in.
We don't call blogs on the New York Times website as "those cute American blogs in New York" and we don't call blogs on British newspaper "those eccentric Brits are at it again", do we?
They aren't "Taiwanese." They are the creations of NMA, just as the Guardian and the Washington Post are the creations of their specific individual owners.
The correct name of the company that creates these global videos - global, not islandwide - is Next Media Animation.
NMA has made waves since it opened shop last year, and when it put out a very funny video about Tiger Woods, the link went viral and NMA was suddenly on the world's media map.
Norm Cohen at the New York Times gushed: "If only this news org would offer an entire 24-hour channel of this stuff! I don't care that I can't understand the dialogue in Chinese - all I need to know is in that sweet, sweet CGI."
Now NMA videos come with English subtitles and voice-overs, and one punter put it this way: "This is, by far, the greatest act of journalism in human history. I wish they made one for the Hindenburg disaster."
To get a better handle on NMA and where it's headed, this Letter asked Mark Simon a few questions by email and he responded in, well, internet time.
When I asked him if NMA was turning a tidy profit yet, Simon replied: "We don't break out NMA since it is interwoven with all of our company since all of our company uses us. And yes, we make money on all our international animations.
