We should strengthen the positive publicity of the excellent culture and glorious history of the people of China and the Chinese nation, and often repeat it. We should strengthen the education of patriotism, collectivism and socialism through school education, theoretical research, historical research, film and television works and literary works.

"For a long time in the past, China looked at the world from the perspective of an observer, but after entering the second decade of 2 1 century, when we looked at the world again, we found that the world began to pay attention to China." Fu Ying, former vice foreign minister and former ambassador to Britain, Australia and the Philippines, said recently at the release and seminar of her new book "Seeing the World".

During Fu Ying's decades of diplomatic career, when facing foreign parliamentarians, officials, scholars and the media, she kept answering such questions: What kind of country does China want to be? What does China want from the world? What can it bring to the world? She said: "If the initial stage of reform and opening up was mainly the process of China people's continuous understanding of the world, then in the future, to a great extent, we need to help the world better understand China." Fu Ying thinks, first of all, because China succeeded. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has jumped from a once poor and backward country to the second largest economy in the world. China has made remarkable achievements in various fields, such as greatly reducing poverty, building relatively perfect infrastructure, improving education popularization and national living standards, and making scientific and technological progress. The outside world wants to know why China is successful and how China's political system ensures this success.

Second, the outside world doesn't know enough about China. There are relatively few books and materials about China abroad, and the content is limited. Moreover, in foreign communication channels, comments on China are often one-sided. Therefore, when China grows up and begins to take on greater responsibilities in the world, the outside world naturally wants to know about China, what China people think and what China people will do in the future.

The third is that our own communication awareness and ability need to be improved. Fu Ying recalled: "I remember when I was an ambassador in Britain, I went to the media headquarters to make representations against some distorted reports. On the one hand, they are very willing to listen to my opinion. On the other hand, they also ask questions: Why don't you provide more information? Why not give an interview? Until now, the first-hand information from China in the international information database is still insufficient. "
