You'all are so behind the curve..with your linking and delinking!
Here they come..the Chinese reaching out globally to the Tamil Diaspora..with their radio stations, perhaps TV channels soon..and of course..pirated Tamil movies:D:) And some special Tamil authors..
Vazhga Kalaimagal Zhao Jiang!

Excerpts:
For Zhao Jiang, who prefers to go by her Tamil name Kalaimakal, writing a book in Tamil would have seemed unthinkable when she first began learning what appeared to be an undecipherable script in a Chinese university classroom some 15 years ago.
Today, as a fluent Tamil-speaker and the director of the government-run China Radio International’s (CRI) Tamil station, which commands an impressive audience of more than 25,000 dedicated listeners in Tamil Nadu alone, Ms. Zhao has taken it upon herself to foster closer ties between China and southern India, a usually overlooked destination for Chinese travellers.
Ms. Zhao has been a broadcaster with CRI for 13 years, joining the channel after completing her undergraduate degree in Tamil at the Communications University of China. The university is the only school in Beijing that teaches Tamil; it caters largely to the hiring needs of CRI and the official Xinhua news agency.
Ms. Zhao, who has travelled extensively in Tamil Nadu in 2003 and 2004 on trips aimed at engaging with CRI’s more than 500 listeners’ clubs, now plans to spend a year studying in Tamil Nadu. She is also considering writing a book, based on her upcoming travels in India, to introduce south India to Chinese travellers, who usually only head to New Delhi or Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the north.
CRI’s Tamil station receives as many as five lakh letters every year — more than any other of the station’s 60 international channels — from listeners in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore and Europe.
“After the success of the film ‘Life of Pi’ in China [parts of which were shot in Puducherry], there is an increasing interest in south India among Chinese,” Ms. Zhao said.
