ABC’s Diane Sawyer Will Broadcast From China After The 2010 Election

Diane Sawyer just finished up anchoring the Chilean miner story last week (which won her praise from one broadcast news expert), and after the midterm election season winds down next month, she’ll be bringing ABC’s World News to China.

Sawyer previewed the trip, where she’ll be anchoring from for three days beginning November 15, Friday night on World News.

Sawyer started the segment by playing campaign ads which focused on China, including one aimed at Pat Toomey. “He’s fighting for jobs…in China,” it said ominously.

“One country is cited as America’s dangerous rival,” says Sawyer in the report. “In 30 days, ABC News takes on what is really happening in China.”

It also included surprising statistics about China, including the fact that there are more English speakers in China than there are people in the United States.

Sawyer’s trip will take her from Beijing to Shanghai, and she’ll be joined by correspondents/anchors David Muir and Clarissa Ward. More content will appear on ABCNews.com.

Since Sawyer took over the program nearly a year ago, she has traveled to Copenhagen for an interview with Iranian Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as well as anchoring from Afghanistan, Haiti and the Gulf Coast.

Here’s the China trip preview:
