	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
	China Networks International Holdings, Ltd.  (“CNIH” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 16, 2006 as Alyst Acquisition Corp. (“Alyst”) in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business in any industry, with a focus on the telecommunications industry, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination.  Alyst’s initial shareholders purchased 1,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), in a private placement.  On July 5, 2007, Alyst consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,044,400 of its units (“Units”).  Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, Alyst consummated a private placement of 1,820,000 warrants, each warrant entitled upon exercise to one share of Common Stock at an exercise prices of $5.00 per share.
	On June 24, 2009, Alyst announced that Alyst's stockholders approved its proposed redomestication to the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and its proposed business combination with China Networks Media, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“China Networks”).  Alyst redomesticated to the British Virgin Islands through a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNIH, effective June 24, 2009, with CNIH as the surviving entity.  With effect from June 26, 2009, the business combination among Alyst, CNIH, China Networks and its shareholders, was approved by regulators in the BVI and, thereafter, was consummated on June 29, 2009.
	Upon consummation of the Business Combination, CNIH had outstanding 12,927,888 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 9,864,400 warrants, and an IPO Underwriters’ Purchase Option for 300,000 units, each unit containing one ordinary share and one warrant. As the result of consummation of the business combination, China Networks’ common and preferred shares were converted automatically into 9,422,760 CNIH common shares; therefore China Networks shareholders own approximately 73% of voting equity interests of CNIH. The business combination is considered a reverse acquisition with China Networks as the accounting acquirer.  As such, the historical financial information presented herein prior to June 29, 2009 relates to the financial position and results of operations of China Networks.  Through the business combination, China Networks acquired from Alyst net assets with a fair value of $1,566,492, in which $1,449,122 are in cash.
	China Networks was formed to provide broadcast television advertising services in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) operating via joint venture partnerships with PRC state-owned television broadcasters (PRC TV Stations). The Company commenced operations on October 1, 2008. Activity through September 30, 2008 related to the Company’s formation, private placement offering, establishment of joint ventures and contractual relationships in the PRC, and business combination with Alyst. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
	The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of CNIH, China Networks and its wholly owned subsidiary Advertising Networks Ltd. (“ANT”). ANT’s accounts include the accounts of its joint-ventures with the PRC TV Stations, Shanxi Yellow River and Advertising Networks Cartoon Technology Co., Ltd (“Taiyuan JV”), as a result of ANT’s effective control of these entities through the composition of the board of directors.  As a result of contractual arrangements with Beijing Guangwang Hetong Advertising and Media Co., Ltd. (“Hetong”) and its shareholders, the Company (through ANT) controls and is considered the primary beneficiary of Hetong, and, accordingly, consolidates the accounts of Hetong in its financial statements.
	Hetong is a variable interest entity (VIE) as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R): Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (‘‘FIN 46R’’).
	Taiyuan JV and Hetong have been consolidated in these financial statements as of the date of their formation as described below.  The operations of Hetong and activity under the arrangements described below commenced on October 1, 2008. The operations of Taiyuan JV commenced on January 1, 2009.
	All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.
	Establishment of Joint Ventures between ANT and the PRC TV Stations
	Establishment of Joint Ventures.  In 2008, China Networks established certain equity joint ventures with the state owned PRC TV Stations through its Hong Kong wholly-owned subsidiary, ANT.  ANT established the equity joint venture Taiyuan JV with China Yellow River TV Station (“YR TV Station”) in Shanxi Province in June 2008 (Taiyuan JV is referred to as the “JV Tech Co”, and YR TV Station is referred to as the “PRC TV Station”).  ANT holds 50% equity interest in the  and YR TV Station own the remaining 50%. Under the terms of the Taiyuan JV agreement, YR TV Station will contribute certain assets and contractual rights (see Exclusive cooperation agreement below) with a fair value of RMB45 million (approximately $6,600,000) and ANT will contribute an equal amount in cash.  YR TV Station and ANT have contributed 100% before December 31, 2009.
	Exclusive Cooperation Agreement.    Pursuant to the Exclusive Cooperation Agreement between the JV Tech Co and the PRC TV Stations, the PRC TV Station has exclusively and irrevocably granted to the JV Tech Co the right to carry out advertising operations on its channels, and to provide to the JV Tech Cos all necessary and relevant support, as well as most-favored terms for the conduct of the advertising business. The PRC TV Station share its resources with the JV Tech Co, including, but not limited to, all client information (e.g. databases). Under the terms of this agreement, the PRC TV Station will not engage any other party in any similar agreements. As such, the JV Tech Co’s has the exclusive right to carry out advertising business on PRC TV Stations’ channels.
	Taiyuan JV and YR TV Station entered such Exclusive Cooperation agreement on July 17, 2008.
	Establishment of Trustee Company.   In August 2008, Hetong, the trustee company, established domestic advertising company YR TV Station, under the name Taiyuan Guangwang Hetong Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan Ad Co.”) (referred to as the “JV Ad Co”). Hetong is 100% owned by two PRC nationals, who are the trustees.
	In order to comply with current PRC laws limiting foreign ownership in the television advertising industry, China Networks’ operations are conducted through direct ownership of ANT and through contractual arrangements with Hetong. China Networks does not have an equity interest in Hetong, but instead derives indirect economic benefits from Hetong through a series of contractual arrangements.  Through these arrangements, ANT controls Hetong, which in turn owns 50% of Taiyuan Ad Co. established with PRC TV Station. The JV Tech Co collect the television advertising revenue earned by the JV Ad Cos pursuant to an Exclusive Services Agreement, using assets transferred from PRC TV Station to the JV Tech Cos pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement.
	Establishment of Joint Ventures between ANT and the PRC TV Stations (Cont’d)
	Asset Transfer Agreements.   YR TV Station and Shanxi Yellow River and Advertising Networks Cartoon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan JV”) entered into such Asset Transfer Agreement on July 17, 2008, under which YR TV Station will transfer certain of its asset and contractual rights, valued at RMB45 million, to Taiyuan JV, and the same consideration will be paid by Taiyuan JV. All governmental, statutory and other approvals required for the transfer of these assets were obtained as of the date of the first transfer in August 2008.  Taiyuan JV paid YR TV Station RMB45 million (approximately $6.6 million) under this agreement before December 31, 2009.
	Exclusive Services Agreement.    Pursuant to the Exclusive Services Agreement between the JV Tech Co and the JV Ad Co, the JV Tech Co will be the sole and exclusive provider of services to JV Ad Co relating to technical support for the production of advertising and advertising consulting. In addition, the JV Ad Co will be the sole and exclusive advertising agent to the JV Tech Co and will grant to the JV Ad Co agency rights for all advertising under the exclusive right to carry out advertising operations, granted by the corresponding PRC TV Station to the JV Tech Co in accordance with the Exclusive Cooperation Agreement. Under the terms of the Exclusive Services Agreement, the JV Ad Co will pay the service fee to the JV Tech Co as accrued, in accordance with the JV Tech Co’s regular invoices. As such, all of the JV Ad Co’s pre-tax revenue (less the relevant business tax) generated during the term of this agreement and relating to the marketing of advertising and other operations will be transferred to the JV Tech Co as the service fee.
	Taiyuan JV and Taiyuan Ad Co. entered into an Exclusive Services Agreement on July 17, 2008.
	ASC 810 “Consolidation” addresses financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through a means other than voting rights. In accordance with the requirements of FIN 46R, China Networks has evaluated its relationships with the JV Ad Co.  The JV Ad Co are considered variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’) as defined by FIN 46R. Through contractual arrangements with JV Ad Co through Hetong, China Networks is considered the primary beneficiary of the JV Ad Co as China Networks absorbs a majority of the risk and rewards of those entities.  As such, China Networks consolidates the financial statements of the JV Ad Co pursuant to FIN 46R as of the date their formation as described above.
	Termination of Business Contract with YR TV Station.    Due to the TV broadcasting internal restructuring of Shanxi Province in the PRC, YR TV station had merged with Shanxi Broadcasting Group since January 2011, YR TV Station has since then unilaterally terminated the Taiyuan JV agreement with ANT (see paragraph “Establishment of Joint Ventures” and “Exclusive Services Agreement” above). The Company had filed an arbitration to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”) to claim YR TV Station the amount of approximately RMB54 million (approximately $8,571,000) on October 9, 2011.  The claim was amended in April 2012 to raise the damage sought to RMB81,417,196 (approximately $12,900,000).
	After the conclusion of several hearings, CIETAC repeatedly postponed the date on which to issue an arbitral award.  For strategic reasons, ANT submitted an arbitration withdrawal application to CIETAC on February 17, 2013 and received a Withdrawal Decision on March 18, 2013. On January 20, 2014, the Company filed two applications for arbitration with CIETAC in an attempt to resolve the aforementioned disputes. Taiyuan Ad Co. also filed a lawsuit application against Shanxi TV with Taiyuan Intermediate People’s Court in Shanxi Province in April 2014.
	In connection with the termination of the cooperation agreement and the transfer of the advertising business, Shanxi TV has also taken, as its own, the RMB 45,000,000 of registered capital contributed by the Company to the Yellow River JV.  While the Company acknowledges the right of the PRC government to change policies and rules with respect to agreements with state-owned entities, such as Shanxi TV, however the Company believes that the return of the RMB 45,000,000 contributed to the Yellow River JV by the Company must be returned to the Company.  The Company has attempted, in good faith, to negotiate a settlement with respect to the funds, however, to date Shanxi TV has refused to return the funds to the Company or enter into any settlement agreement.
	Accordingly, all the assets and liabilities as affected by the arbitration were grouped together under heading “Receivables from YR TV Station” and “Payables to YR TV Station” on the Balance Sheet.  Further details please read note 5.
	Going Concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company did not generate any revenue during the year 2013 and had net cash used in operating activities, which have had a significant adverse impact on its business and continue to negatively impact its projected future liquidity. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including, among other things, the outcome of the YR TV Station litigation as described above, and sourcing new stream of revenue and operations.  The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. In addition, the Company may wish to selectively pursue possible acquisitions of businesses complementary to those of the Company in the future in order to expand its presence in the marketplace and achieve operating efficiencies. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through a bank credit facility or private equity. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
	Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	Valuation of long-lived assets- The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset.  Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.  Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
	Please read Note 5 – “Receivables and Other Assets from YR TV Station under Arbitration for a discussion of impairment charges the Company recognized in 2011 related to our investment in YR JV and YR Ad Co.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
	Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
	Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	For certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, short-term loans, accruals and other payables, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the near term maturities of such obligations. The carrying amounts of long-term loans payable approximate fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rate.
	Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts, interest bearing savings accounts and time certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
	Restricted cash – Restricted cash represents cash held in Alyst’s checking account, which is obligated to be used for repurchase of 30,000 CNIH common shares, as stipulated by the Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement between shareholders and Alyst in July 2009.
	Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at the period end.  Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable balances are recorded when circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful for particular accounts receivable or as a general reserve for all accounts receivable.  Management estimates such allowances based on historical evidence such as amounts that are subject to risk and customer credit worthiness.  Accounts receivable are written off if reasonable collection efforts are not successful.
	Management periodically reviews the outstanding account balances for collectability.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
	Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost including the cost of improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.   Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method based on the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or lease term as follows:
	Leasehold improvement	3 years
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 years
	Computer software	1 year
	Comprehensive income (loss) – The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
	Income taxes- Alyst was subject to US federal, New York State and New York City taxes prior to the redomestication to the BVI through a merger with CNIH. China Networks was originally incorporated in the Cayman Islands and subsequently reincorporated in the BVI.  China Networks is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of the Cayman Islands or BVI.  PRC entities are subject to the PRC Enterprise Income tax at the applicable rates on taxable income at the commencement of operations.
	Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.  Deferred income tax liabilities or assets are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at each year end.  A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	Foreign Currency- The functional currency of each foreign operation is the local currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollars (“US$”). Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on that date. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (if any) are included in the statement of operations.
	The JV Tech Co and JV Ad Co translate their assets and liabilities into US$ at the current exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated into US$ using the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses that result from the translation are included in other comprehensive income/loss.
	Earnings per Common Share – The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings per Share, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per common share assume that outstanding common shares were increased by shares convertible from preferred stock. Since the Company’s common stock equivalents are not dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same.
	Use of estimates - The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of program rights and intangible assets, preferred stock valuation, discount on promissory notes, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, depreciation, useful lives of property, taxes, and contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available and any adjustment could be significant.  Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
	Non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements – ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. Please read note 3 – Noncontrolling Interests for further discussion.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	There is no recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
	The Group accounts for and discloses events that occur after the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued through December 31, 2013.

	As discussed in Note 1 Organization “Termination of Business Contract with YR TV Station” above, the Company was forced to terminate cooperation with its joint venture partner, YR TV Station due to the PRC’s internal restructuring for TV broadcasting business in Shanxi Province, YR TV Station had merged with Shanxi Broadcasting Group.  Beginning from December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the assets that are under arbitration is separately presented in the Balance Sheet in the caption “Receivables from YR TV Station under arbitration” and these assets are no longer depreciated.
	In April 2012, the Company formally filed arbitration against China YR TV Stations to the CIETAC.  CIETAC is the major permanent arbitration institutions in China and responsible for independently and impartially resolves economic and trade disputes by means of arbitration.  In this action the Company allege breach of contract by YR TV Station, seeking recovery of capital investment cost plus interest and others totaled RMB54 million (approximately $8,571,000). After the conclusion of several hearings, CIETAC repeatedly postponed the date on which to issue an arbitral award.  For strategic reasons, ANT submitted an arbitration withdrawal application to CIETAC on February 17, 2013 and received a Withdrawal Decision on March 18, 2013. On January 20, 2014, the Company filed two applications for arbitration with CIETAC in an attempt to resolve the aforementioned disputes. Taiyuan Ad Co. also filed a lawsuit application against Shanxi TV with Taiyuan Intermediate People’s Court in Shanxi Province in April 2014.
	In this instance, management has assessed the matters based on current information and made judgments concerning their potential outcome, giving consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount, and the probability of success. Management believes it will receive a positive award in the dispute.  However, in view of the significant uncertainty on the outcome of the actions, the carrying value was fully impaired.
	Management is seeking other means to reach a settlement with China YR TV Stations. Due to the inherent uncertainties including unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of our effort could involve amounts that are different from our currently recorded amount and that such differences could be material.

	Foreign currency risk
	Substantially all of the Company’s transactions are denominated in Renminbi, but a substantial portion of its cash is kept in U.S. dollars. Although the Company believes that, in general, its exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited, its cash flows and revenues will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi. It is possible that the Chinese government may elect to loosen further its current controls over the extent to which the Renminbi is allowed to fluctuate in value in relation to foreign currencies. The Company’s business and the price of its ordinary shares could be negatively affected by a revaluation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar or by other fluctuations in prevailing Renminbi-U.S. dollar exchange rates.
	Company’s operations are substantially in foreign countries
	Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in China. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in China.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of presentation	'
	Basis of presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Principles of consolidation	'
	Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Valuation of long-lived assets	'
	Valuation of long-lived assets- The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset.  Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.  Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
	Please read Note 5 – “Receivables and Other Assets from YR TV Station under Arbitration for a discussion of impairment charges the Company recognized in 2011 related to our investment in YR JV and YR Ad Co.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
	Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
	Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	For certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, short-term loans, accruals and other payables, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the near term maturities of such obligations. The carrying amounts of long-term loans payable approximate fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rate.
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts, interest bearing savings accounts and time certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted cash	'
	Restricted cash – Restricted cash represents cash held in Alyst’s checking account, which is obligated to be used for repurchase of 30,000 CNIH common shares, as stipulated by the Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement between shareholders and Alyst in July 2009.
Accounts receivable	'
	Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at the period end.  Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable balances are recorded when circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful for particular accounts receivable or as a general reserve for all accounts receivable.  Management estimates such allowances based on historical evidence such as amounts that are subject to risk and customer credit worthiness.  Accounts receivable are written off if reasonable collection efforts are not successful.
	Management periodically reviews the outstanding account balances for collectability.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Property and equipment	'
	Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost including the cost of improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.   Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method based on the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or lease term as follows:
	Leasehold improvement	3 years
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 years
	Computer software	1 year
Comprehensive income (loss)	'
	Comprehensive income (loss) – The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Income taxes	'
	Income taxes- Alyst was subject to US federal, New York State and New York City taxes prior to the redomestication to the BVI through a merger with CNIH. China Networks was originally incorporated in the Cayman Islands and subsequently reincorporated in the BVI.  China Networks is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of the Cayman Islands or BVI.  PRC entities are subject to the PRC Enterprise Income tax at the applicable rates on taxable income at the commencement of operations.
	Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.  Deferred income tax liabilities or assets are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at each year end.  A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency- The functional currency of each foreign operation is the local currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollars (“US$”). Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on that date. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (if any) are included in the statement of operations.
	The JV Tech Co and JV Ad Co translate their assets and liabilities into US$ at the current exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated into US$ using the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses that result from the translation are included in other comprehensive income/loss.
Earnings per Common Share	'
	Earnings per Common Share – The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings per Share, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per common share assume that outstanding common shares were increased by shares convertible from preferred stock. Since the Company’s common stock equivalents are not dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same.
Use of estimates	'
	Use of estimates - The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of program rights and intangible assets, preferred stock valuation, discount on promissory notes, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, depreciation, useful lives of property, taxes, and contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available and any adjustment could be significant.  Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements	'
	Non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements – ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. Please read note 3 – Noncontrolling Interests for further discussion.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	There is no recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
	The Group accounts for and discloses events that occur after the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued through December 31, 2013.
