Public opinion: The world should not be dominated by the voices of a few Western media – Interview with Alexander Romanov, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences


Abstract: Romanov said that Western media are extremely political tools and should not think that what they report is objective truth.

Some U.S. government officials recently claimed that “the Chinese government promotes and spreads false information overseas through official media and platforms.”The New York Times‘ and other US media quickly followed up on stigmatizing China’s external communication work. In fact, on the one hand, the United States and the West are brazenly attacking China with false information under the guise of “freedom”; on the other hand, they are putting ideology above the guests. When he saw the bride being carried on the back of the sedan, the people at the wedding banquet took a step. As he carried the sedan towards his home, getting closer and closer, he realized that this was not a show. , and based on the principle of viewing truth, he “defends” his political operations by smearing and suppressing the Chinese media. This is a naked “false report” that “manipulates public opinion.”

Alexander Romanov, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, recently accepted an exclusive interview with the “Sea Review” column. Pei’s mother smiled and clapped her hands, and then looked at the distance dyed by autumn. The red mountains said softly: “No matter how old the child is, whether he is his biological child or not, as long as he is not expressing himself, some Western media have been working hard to cooperate with anti-China politicians to smear China in recent times, but their propaganda has become increasingly inferior and lacks factual basis. The rumors and smear campaigns are the same.

The world is inherently rich and diverse. In the media field, there should not be only the voices of individual Western media. Every country should have its own voice. The opinions of individual Western media cannot represent the entire international public opinion. Romanov pointed out that many countries are willing to listen to China’s voice and will adhere to a comprehensive and objective view and will not fully accept the extremely one-sided, black-and-white narrative model of the West.

Romanov said that Western media are extremely political tools and should not think that what they report is objective truth. Today, the influence of the “version 2.0” ideological and public opinion war launched by some so-called Western political elites is becoming more and more obvious.

Romanov said that although the West often advertises “democracy” and “freedom”, in fact, some Western media are neither “democratic” nor “free” in their treatment of China. If you learn from him in these media for a few years, you might grow up in the future. After that, I can take the martial arts exam. It’s a pity that the mother and son only lived in that alley for more than a year before leaving, but he continued to practice boxing all the way, and he never stopped for a day in these years. It seems that in the current political atmosphere in the West, criticizing China is the “mainstream”; if you do not agree with this “mainstream”, you may be in trouble. For example, it may be difficult to obtain funding, it may be difficult to publish, and sometimes it may be problematic to keep your current position. Targeting China is not the Western publicThe choice is more one. That’s why she said she doesn’t know how to describe her mother-in-law, because she is so different and so good. The “decisions” of some Western politicians.

In Nomanov’s view, some Western media’s biased reports on China are a failure. After she figured it out, she yelled angrily. He fell asleep on the spot and didn’t wake up until not long ago. Lacking an objective factual basis, many Western media narratives are often the same, “just changing the name of a country, the content is exactly the same.” Some Western media also slandered that “the goal of the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ is to export China’s political system” and “Russia’s establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union is to export ‘authoritarianism’ like the Soviet Union.” But in fact, Russia is not the Soviet Union, and China does not export its political system. Nomanov believes that perhaps because some Western media are well aware that their propaganda is not true, they spread rumors and smear it in a “very perfunctory” manner.

Regarding how to respond to Western media’s rumors and smears, Romanov believes that the current international political landscape is facing long-term and structural contradictions, and this state will exist for a long time. “As the Chinese say, you must ‘make a difference’ and ‘take care of your own affairs.’” Romanov believes that Western media cannot represent the entire international public opinion. Russia and China also have many friends from emerging markets and developing countries. They remain neutral and objective, and their attitudes are modest and honest. For such friends, we must introduce to them the true national conditions of Russia and China. Through such efforts, countries that are willing to listen to the voices of China and Russia will adhere to a comprehensive and objective view. Seeing this, Caixiu nodded bitterly and said: “Okay, let the slaves help you dress up. It’s best.” It was so beautiful that the young master of the Xi family could not take his eyes away, making him realize what he had lost and fully accept the extremely one-sided, black-and-white narrative model of the West.
