Fu Ying
Director of Tsinghua University Strategy and Security Research Center
Chinese think tanks need to strengthen international communication and add as much material and information from China as possible to the international information database to form an objective international image of China. "Recently, the Strategy and Security Research Center of Tsinghua University and CITIC Publishing Group jointly organized the "Challenges and Choices under a Hundred Years of Change-"Looking at the World 2" Seminar and Ambassador Fu Ying's New Book Release Sharing Session." Tsinghua University Strategy and Security Research Center Director Fu Ying said at the meeting that the purpose of international communication is to enhance the international community’s understanding of China and enhance international cooperation, so that others can better understand us and reduce misunderstandings and antagonisms.
China is getting closer to the center of the world stage
In response to the international situation under the background of changes in recent years, Fu Ying said that we are in an era of change. As General Secretary Xi Jinping said, “At present, our country is in the best period of development since modern times, and the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. The two are intertwined and surging at the same time.” Therefore, this change is not a change from China, it is a change in which China plays a important role.
Fu Ying said that China is approaching the center of the world stage. For the Chinese, this is a historic change. Since modern times, China has lacked experience in the relationship between major powers and the transformation of power. It is necessary to recognize the changes in the situation and learn from historical experience. For us, there are many things to learn.
Look at the problem from a historical perspective and grasp the direction
Regarding how to deal with the big changes unseen in a century, how to establish your own position? Fu Ying said that the Chinese people need to further enhance their knowledge of international affairs, and especially need to better understand the history and laws of world development. "Some problems may be difficult for us to understand from a partial perspective, but when we look at them in history, we can see some regular characteristics and better judge their development trends." Fu Ying said.
Spread the real situation in China
In the process of approaching the center of the world stage, how can China show its own image and enhance its understanding with other countries? Fu Ying stated that China’s think tanks need to strengthen international communication and add as much material and information from China as possible to the international information database to form an objective international image of China. At present, the content of China in the international information database, a lot of things are not true and objective, and resource of this information are not from China. If, when discussing issues related to China in the international arena, one can first hear the views of the Chinese people and get information about China, then the conclusions and results may be closer to our actual situation, which can make our national image clearer and clearer. .
Fu Ying believes that the mission of communication is to enhance understanding, mutual understanding is the foundation of trust, and trust is the foundation of cooperation. With such a desire, the dialogue must be sincere. It is necessary to consider the understanding and acceptance of the other party, and pay attention to the basis and persuasiveness of the dialogue. The purpose of international communication is to increase the international community’s understanding of China and enhance international cooperation, so that others can better understand us and reduce misunderstandings and antagonisms.
