「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-5-11）(21)

我也看到了《纽约时报》这篇报道，它援引的报告还没有出来，所以不好详细评论。但是，我看报道称报告认为中国在全球加大传播有关中国的正面叙事，感觉像是对我们中国新闻工作者工作的一种肯定。
Hua Chunying: I saw this NYT article. The report it cited hasn"t been released, so I will refrain from detailed comments. But the part concerning positive narratives about China sounds like recognition for Chinese media workers.
我可以根据你刚才提到的《纽约时报》报道的有关内容，先做一些初步回应。
Based on what you mentioned about the NYT report, I will make some initial responses.
第一，世界本来就是丰富和多元的，在媒体领域，不应只有CNN和BBC，各国都应该有自己的声音。作为拥有14亿人口、占世界人口总数近五分之一、拥有5000年绵延不断文明、全球第二大经济体和最大发展中国家的中国，当然应该、也值得在国际舆论格局拥有自己的一席之地。
First, the world is a diverse and colorful place. In the media sector, instead of having CNN and BBC only, countries should all have their own voices. China has an uninterrupted civilization that dates back over 5000 years ago. Today, China is the world"s second largest economy and the biggest developing country with 1.4 billion people, nearly one fifth of the world"s total. Of course we should have and we deserve a place in the international media landscape.
